How to use BigRock domain in Blogger

How to use BigRock domain in Blogger

To configure your Blogger blog with a custom domain is extremely easy. If you haven't purchased your domain, then I recommend you to buy it from BigRock rather than Godaddy, Because of some advantages which I am going to write later. Here I'll show you how to map a custom domain in Blogger. I assume that you have a Blogspot blog (or any) already. Now you want to map a custom domain, right! 
Step 1: Log-in to your BigRock (or any domain provider eg. Godaddy) account.

Step 2: Click on manage orders and select your preferred domain, which you want to use in your blog. (see fig 1)

Step 3: Navigate to DNS Management and open it. (See fig 2)

Step 4: Go to "A" section. Create 4 "A" records with the following details. In name box leave it blank. Create 4 IP address as follows

  • 216.239.32.21
  • 216.239.34.21
  • 216.239.36.21
  • 216.239.38.21

Step 5: Now go to "CNAME" section and create a new record by filling up the form as follows. Put the Name=www, and Host= ghs.google.com


Now just wait 8-10 hour.

Go to your Blogger dashboard. Go to Setting-Basic-Blog address. Click on Add a Custom domain. Again click on 'Switch to Advanced Setting'. Here enter your full URL (with 'www', eg 'www.askjet.org'). Then select save and later tick mark on the "Redirect example.com to www.example.com".
Now you are done. Wait for 1-2 hours to make the changes take effect. If you have any problem then ask me. Ok!
