With Blogspot, it is possible to use your domain name, such as yourname.com, instead of the standard yourname.blogspot.com. This feature makes the blog easier to access and improves branding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you manage your domain using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/\">MilesWeb<\/a>, this tutorial will guide you through directing your domain to Blogger by modifying DNS records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us break it down:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Set Up Custom Domain in Blogger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign in to your Blogger account via https:\/\/www.blogger.com.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the left menu, navigate to settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In publishing, click on a custom domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type in your domain with www (e.g., www.yourdomain.com).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hit save and blogger will now show two CNAME records that are required for configuration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One record is generic, which would be: www \u2192 ghs.google.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other is unique: e.g. abc123 \u2192 xyz456.dv.googlehosted.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you note the two values, as they are needed in the next step.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Access DNS Settings in MilesWeb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Access the MilesWeb client area and sign in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Domains &gt; My Domains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the domain you wish to point to, then click Manage Domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the DNS Management or Manage DNS Zone section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Add Required DNS Records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You now need to add:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two CNAME records provided by Blogger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Four A records pointing to Google\u2019s IPs (for root domain redirection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CNAME Records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Destination<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>TTL<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CNAME<\/td><td>www<\/td><td>ghs.google.com<\/td><td>\u00a33,600.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CNAME<\/td><td>abc123 (example)<\/td><td>xyz456.dv.googlehosted.com<\/td><td>\u00a33,600.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding new records, remove any existing A or CNAME entries for @ or www that conflict with the ones above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Records (for non-www version)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure visitors who type yourdomain.com (without www) are redirected correctly, add the following A records:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Points to<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>TTL<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A<\/td><td>@<\/td><td>216.239.32.21<\/td><td>3600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A<\/td><td>@<\/td><td>216.239.34.21<\/td><td>3600<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A<\/td><td>@<\/td><td>216.239.36.21<\/td><td>\u00a33,600.00<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A<\/td><td>@<\/td><td>216.239.38.21<\/td><td>\u00a33,600.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Save and Verify in Blogger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Return to your Blogger dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Save again under the custom domain section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the DNS is properly set, your domain will be accepted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable HTTPS to redirect once the domain is verified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example: Connect blog.milesdemo.in to Blogger.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you own the domain milesdemo.in with MilesWeb and want to point www.milesdemo.in to Blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would add the following DNS entries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>CNAME 1: www \u2192 ghs.google.com\n\nCNAME 2: 7abcz4 \u2192 8g5x2v.dv.googlehosted.com (your unique values will differ.)\n\nA Records:\n\n@ \u2192 216.239.32.21\n\n@ \u2192 216.239.34.21\n\n@ \u2192 216.239.36.21\n\n@ \u2192 216.239.38.21<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Blogger blog will be accessible through the Url www.milesdemo.in once you save and propagate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Suggestions for Blogger and Custom Domain Integration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enable HTTPS:<\/strong> Make sure to turn on both HTTPS and the redirect in blogger settings after connecting your domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Propagation Time:<\/strong> DNS adjustments can take from a few hours up to 24 hours to reflect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remove Old Records:<\/strong> A or CNAME default entries ought to be cleared out before new records are added so that no conflicts arise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Mobile: <\/strong>Ensure resolution on different phones or tablets to check if your domain works as required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Need Assistance?
