Set godaddy domain for Blogger

by Nandupatel on April 14, 2009

Here are the steps that worked for me and hopefully they will work for you too:

Set all these settings in the GoDaddy Domain Manager. Then, after you’ve set all these settings, make the change on Blogger/Blogspot to use the custom domain.

1. Namerservers (set to Parked)

NS37.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
NS38.DOMAINCONTROL.COM

If those aren’t the nameservers you see, then click to change them to “custom,” enter those namesevers, and then click to “parked”

2. DNS settings/revisions
Revise the “A Record @” and the “CNAME www”

A Record @ 64.202.189.170
CNAME www to ghs.google.com

3. Enable URL Forwarding
In my case, I set the forwarding URL to be: www.thetricks.net
Don’t forget the triple w (www) in that URL forwarding address
Make sure you don’t have a “/” at the end of your URL

4. After you make all these changes, go into Blogger and then enable your custom domain.

5. Then click Switch to advanced settings then type your domain name. then type word shown in image (word verification) and then click save setting. I think thats done.
