You will find many tutorials and advice and articles related to switch to Custom Domain name for your your blogspot blog and i completely agree with that, it has many advantages so you should opt for that and my personal favorite is “BigRock” its very good domain name registrar and my domain name is registered there only. you can get your domain name at Rs 85/- only its the lowest price so why not to go for that but sometimes you will find difficult to configure your newly purchased domain name but not to worry this tutorial will explain you how can you add BigRock (or any other also) domain name to you blogger blog, so let’s start with the tutorials.
How To Add Domain Name To Blogger?
- First login to you account (http://manage.bigrock.com).
- Click on Domains and then click on List all orders.
- Select you domain name.
- Than from the menu tab click on “DNS”.
- Now click on Manage DNS.
- Now basically you have to add two records to your DNS records (CName and A Records).
- Now click on “Add A Record”.
- Now in Name field leave it blank.
- In destination IPV4 address put this value “216.239.32.21” (without quotes).
- Now click on add Cname record.
- In Name field enter “www”.
- In Value enter “ghs.google.com”.
- And click ok or what ever may be the option there.
That’s it you are done with modifying your DNS record now you have to add your domain name to blogger.
- So go to your blogger account.
- Go to Setting >> Publishing.
- Now click on Custom Domain option.
- Click on Switch to advance setting.
- enter your domain name as : www.yourdomain .com.
- insert verification code.
- now check mark on “Redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com”.
That’s it you are done with your custom domain.

Hello,

what changes your doing to redirect your domain to blogspot to main domain? have you followed all the steps mentioned above? and which domain name registrar you are using?

Its my personal request, don’t buy Hosting service from BigRock. You will face problems during billing and after billing.
Most worst is their customer service. There customer service is too poor. If you seek their customer service, chances are they might ill-treat you, disrespect you, and threaten you to disable your website forever if somebody hacks your site(although it is not your mistake).
I have experienced.
Oh i have heard a negative feedback for BigRock first time
i admire your opinion and i respect it but i have no experience of hosting with BigRock and i am using HostGator as a hosting and very happy with it but for domain name i usually go for BigRock.

Hey Jeet, when im creating the cname record, it is displaying as “Error Message: A,NS,MX,AAAA record Exists having same name. Please Check For Record Conflicts.” Can u please tell me where the problem lies???
It means that the record you are trying is already entered there only so please check one more time that that particular record is there or not?

Hi Appy and Jeet,
That means you will have to remove ‘A’ records entries which are ‘by default’ present for your domain name.
For e.g if you are registering abc.com then
1. remove default ‘A’ records for abc.com
2. Add new ‘A’ records
3. Add CNAME entry
You can read detail post here

Hey bro why dont you switch to the disqus instead of this comment platform

I got confirmation abt my new domain today. .now i am going to do DNS.
But i am little bit afraid of errors after doing dns
Don’t worry about it, it will take near about 48 hours to propagate but after that there will be no issues. so just go ahead and make the changes.
