How do I use my domain with my Blogger account?
Estimated reading time: 1 min
In order to link your domain to your blog, you need to take several simple steps:
1. Set up your domain in your Blogger account as described here in Step 2: Connect to your non-Google domain from Blogger.
2. Once you have added the domain, you will get two CNAME records that you need to configure along with the A records in your DNS Management option in your G Online Sites clientarea:
– Sign in to your G Online Sites Clientarea.
– Select Registered Domains and click on the Manage Domains button that appears next to your preferred domain name.
– Select More and click DNS Management, add the records then click on the Save Changes button (You can also edit records from Zone Editor in your cPanel account):
Here you will need to create 6 records for your domain:
– A Records for @ or yourdomain.com pointing to
- 216.239.32.21
- 216.239.34.21
- 216.239.36.21
- 216.239.38.21
– CNAME for www (host or hostname) mapped to ghs.google.com (value or Address)
– CNAME with values provided in the Blogger account [eg. cqi4kum4ah (host or hostname) mapped to gv-7222bqqpbcuqpb.dv.googlehosted.com (value or Address)]
3. Once all details are inserted, save them using the Save Changes icon.
It can take approximately 30 minutes for newly-created host records to take effect.
