Here I am going to show you “<a href="http://technovally.com/how-to-use-custom-domain-blogger-godaddy/">how to use custom domain on blogger</a>”. We know that blogger provides us two kind of publishing options:
1. Simply Hosting on Blogspot (XYZ.blogspot.com).
2. Hosting on your custom domain(www.XYZ.com or www.example.XYZ.com ).
We can change our publishing option at any instant and our content will remain unchanged.
First of all, before we move our blog to a custom domain. We need to have already purchased a custom domain (www.XYZ.com) . as we can no longer buy custom domains from Blogger. Here is list through which you can buy domain:
GoDaddy.com
EasyDNS
Yahoo! Small Business
Namecheap.com
Hostmonster.com
