How to setup custom domain for blog

1. Assuming you have your own
hosting plan with Hostgator or another web host, contact your web hosting company
about registering a domain.
Tell them that you want to
register a new domain name
such as YourDomain.com.
Once the domain is registered ask them to create a CNAME
record for your domain with
the DNS directing to:
ghs.google.com. Please note
that it may take a few hours
to a day for your DNS settings to update correctly. 2. Now we need to update your
Blogger Settings at
Blogger.com. Go to Settings and then click on the Publishing tab. 1. If you are publishing on
Blogspot, you will see a link
near the top offering to
switch you to a custom
domain. Go ahead and click
on "custom domain". 2. Now click "Switch to
Advanced Settings". 3. Fill in the name of your
domain. I typed in
YourDomain.com as an
example. Once you've done
this enter the word
verification at the bottom of the page and click "Save
Settings". 4. That's it! Your files should
now be hosted at your new
domain if your DNS settings
have been updated yet. Wordpress is a free
professional blogging platform
which most people prefer over
Blogger. Assuming once again
that you have a web hosting
account with one such as Hostgator, go to your cPanel. 1. Watch this tutorial on how to Install WordPress from
Fantastico. 2. Then in your WordPress Admin
area (domain.com/wp-admin),
go to Manage → Import →
Blogger and follow the
directions to complete the
import. 3. Your blog posts should now be
imported to Wordpress and
should show up on your
website! Feel free to ask me any
