Adding a custom domain to your Blogger website is a great way to make your website look more professional and give it a unique identity. It also allows you to take advantage of features that are not available with the default Blogger domain, such as email forwarding and custom DNS records.

In this article, we will show you how to add a custom domain to your Blogger website using Freenom. Freenom is a free domain registrar that offers a variety of domain names, including .com, .net, and .org.

To add a custom domain to your Blogger website using Freenom, you will need the following:

  • A Freenom account
  • A Blogger account
  • The domain name that you want to use

Once you have these things, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Register a domain name with Freenom.
  2. Point the domain name to your Blogger website.
  3. Configure your Blogger website to use the custom domain.

We will walk you through each of these steps in detail in the following sections.

To register a domain name with Freenom, you need to:

  1. Go to the Freenom website and click on the "Register a Domain" button.
  2. Enter the domain name that you want to register and click on the "Search" button.
  3. If the domain name is available, you will be able to register it for free.
  4. Select the registration period. You can register a domain name for one year, two years, three years, or five years.
  5. Enter your contact information. This includes your name, email address, and physical address.
  6. Click on the "Register" button.

Freenom will send you an email confirmation with the details of your domain registration.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when registering a domain name with Freenom:

  • The domain name must be available. You can check the availability of a domain name on the Freenom website.
  • You can register a domain name for one year, two years, three years, or five years. The longer the registration period, the cheaper the domain name will be.
  • You need to provide your contact information when you register a domain name. This information will be used to contact you if there are any problems with your domain name registration.
  • Freenom offers a variety of domain names, including .com, .net, and .org. You can also register country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs), such as .us, .uk, and .de.

To add a custom domain in Blogger website from Freenom, you need to:

  1. Register a domain name with Freenom. You can register a .com, .net, .org, or other domain name for free at Freenom.
  2. Point the domain name to your Blogger website. You can do this by updating the DNS records for the domain name.
  3. Configure your Blogger website to use the custom domain. You can do this in the Blogger settings.

Here are the detailed steps on how to do each of these things:

  1. Register a domain name with Freenom. To register a domain name with Freenom, go to the Freenom website and click on the "Register a Domain" button. Enter the domain name that you want to register and click on the "Search" button. If the domain name is available, you will be able to register it for free.
  2. Point the domain name to your Blogger website. Once you have registered a domain name with Freenom, you need to point it to your Blogger website. To do this, you need to update the DNS records for the domain name. DNS records are used to tell computers where to find your website.

The following are the DNS records that you need to update for your Blogger website:

  • A record: This record tells computers the IP address of your website. The IP address for your Blogger website can be found in the Blogger settings.
  • CNAME record: This record tells computers the name of your website. The name of your website is the domain name that you registered with Freenom.

You can update the DNS records for your domain name at Freenom. To do this, go to the Freenom website and click on the "My Domains" tab. Select the domain name that you want to update and click on the "Manage Domain" button. Scroll down to the "DNS Management" section and enter the following information:

  • Record Type: A
  • Name: @

  • Target: The IP address of your Blogger website

  • Record Type: CNAME

  • Name: www
  • Target: The domain name that you registered with Freenom

Once you have updated the DNS records, it may take some time for the changes to propagate. This means that it may take a few hours before the domain name is accessible.

  1. Configure your Blogger website to use the custom domain. Once the DNS changes have propagated, you need to configure your Blogger website to use the custom domain. To do this, go to the Blogger settings and click on the "Custom Domain" tab. Enter the domain name that you registered with Freenom and click on the "Save" button.

That's it! You have now successfully added a custom domain in Blogger website from Freenom.
