Adding a custom domain to your Blogger site with DNS settings involves a few steps. Additionally, enabling HTTPS (SSL) for your custom domain is crucial for security and credibility. Here's a guide:
### Part 1: Set Up Custom Domain in Blogger
1. **Purchase a Domain**: Register a custom domain through a domain registrar of your choice. Ensure you have access to modify the DNS settings for this domain.
2. **Access Blogger Settings**:
- Log in to your Blogger account.
- Go to the dashboard of the blog where you want to add the custom domain.
3. **Go to Settings**:
- Click on "Settings" from the left-hand menu.
- Select "Basic" under Settings.
4. **Set Up Custom Domain**:
- Under Publishing, find the "Set up a third-party URL for your blog" section.
- Enter your custom domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) in the field provided.
- Click on "Save".
5. **Error Message**:
- You'll see an error message with two CNAME records. These records need to be added to your domain's DNS settings.
### Part 2: Update DNS Settings for Custom Domain
1. **Access DNS Settings**:
- Log in to your domain registrar's website where you purchased your custom domain.
- Find the DNS settings or DNS management section.
2. **Add CNAME Records**:
- Add the two CNAME records provided by Blogger. These records typically include values like "ghs.google.com" and "gv-xxxxxxxxxx.domainverify.googlehosted.com".
- Save the changes.
### Part 3: Verify Custom Domain in Blogger
1. **Return to Blogger**:
- Go back to the Blogger dashboard.
2. **Verify Domain**:
- In the "Settings" > "Basic" section, enter your custom domain (www.yourdomain.com) again.
- This time, it should verify successfully.
### Part 4: Enable HTTPS (SSL) for Custom Domain
1. **Access HTTPS Settings**:
- After successfully verifying your custom domain, go to "Settings" > "Basic" again.
2. **Enable HTTPS**:
- Find the HTTPS section.
- Turn on HTTPS availability.
- Save the changes.
3. **Redirect HTTP to HTTPS**:
- Optionally, you can select the option to redirect your domain from HTTP to HTTPS.
### Part 5: Test and Verify
1. **Test the Custom Domain**:
- Visit your custom domain (www.yourdomain.com) in a web browser to ensure it loads correctly.
2. **Check HTTPS Connection**:
- Verify that your site is loading over HTTPS by checking for the padlock icon in the browser's address bar.
By following these steps, you can successfully add a custom domain to your Blogger site and enable HTTPS for secure connections. Remember, DNS changes may take some time to propagate, so your custom domain might not work immediately.
