BlackBlack.Online - How to Add a Custom Domain to Your Blogger Blog

Switching from a default .blogspot.com address to a custom domain (like www.yourdomain.com) gives your site an instant professional identity. Setting up your DNS records only takes a few minutes once you know where to point your CNAME and A records.

Prerequisites

• Access to your Blogger admin dashboard.
• A custom domain registered with a DNS provider (Namecheap, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Google Domains / Squarespace).
• Access to your domain registrar's DNS Management control panel.

Step 1: Initiate Setup in Blogger

1. Log in to your Blogger Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Settings in the left sidebar.
3. Scroll down to Publishing and click Custom domain.
4. Type your custom domain including the www subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) and click Save.

[ Note ]
Blogger will intentionally display an error message upon saving. This error provides two specific security tokens required to verify domain ownership in Step 2.

Step 2: Add CNAME Records

In your domain registrar's DNS panel, add two new CNAME Records matching the parameters shown below:

Step 3: Add Google's A Records (Apex Domain Redirect)

To allow visitors typing yourdomain.com (without the www) to reach your blog, add four A Records pointing to Google's IP addresses. Set the Host/Name field to @ (or leave blank if required by your DNS manager):

Step 4: Confirm in Blogger & Enable SSL

1. Return to Blogger Settings > Custom domain and click Save. (If an error persists, wait 10–15 minutes for DNS propagation and retry).
2. Toggle on Redirect domain so traffic forwards automatically from yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com.
3. Scroll down to the HTTPS section and turn on both HTTPS availability and HTTPS redirect.
