Step-By-Step Setting Up GoDaddy Domain On Your Blogger Blog :- [For New Blogger Interface]

---

1.) Go to GoDaddy website and login into your GoDaddy account from which you have buyed the domain.

2.) Go To 'My Products'.

3.) Under 'Domains' , click on the DNS in front of the domain which you want to connect to your blogger blog.

4.) Keep this tab open and then open a new tab and go to Blogger.com and sign into your blogger account in which your blog is created.
5.) If you have created more than one blogs from same blogger account , then firstly choose your blog to which you want to connect the domain.
6.) Now navigate to Settings > Publishing .

7.) Under Publishing , Click on Custom domain.

8.) Now enter the domain you have buyed along with www. in the prefix of your domain name and click on Save.

9.) Now after clicking on Save, you will see some error like this ''We have not been able to verify your authority to this domain......''.


10.) Keeping this tab opened, navigate to the GoDaddy DNS Management tab (which we left opened).

11.) Now you will have to add two CNAME records.

12.) Click on Add. Select CNAME from Type . Enter '@' in Host. Enter 'ghs.google.com' in Points To. Then click on Save.

13.)  Now add another CNAME by clicking on Add.
14.) Now go to the opened blogger tab and from the error shown copy Name and Destination and paste them in the Host and Points To box in the opened GoDaddy DNS Management tab and then click on Save.

15.) Now you will have to add four 'A' Records with '@' in the Host and Points to:-
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21
these four IP Addresses.

16.) Now you are all done with setting up Records. [It may take 5 minutes or upto 24 hours for these changes to take place.]


17.) Now once again go to the opened Blogger tab and click on Save button again.
If you are getting the ERROR again means the changes have not been fully done. Wait for 1 - 2 hours more or maximum 24 hours (very rare), then you will definitely be able to Save your Custom Domain in your blogger blog.

But here we are not done setting up our domain completely , one last thing is remaining .

Under Custom Domain 'Turn On' Redirect domain , so that if someone enters your domain in the browser without www. in the beginning, he gets automatically redirected to www. version of your domain name without getting any ERROR.
Also 'Turn On' HTTPS availability and HTTPS redirect , so that HTTP gets redirected to HTTPS.
