let me tell you the exact procedure of transferring your blogger blog to the private Domain.
Step:1 Buy a Domain Name. I Prefer GoDaddy.com simply because it is the market leader. Google also recommends GoDaddy to buy a private Domain Name. GoDaddy is very easy to use. But before buying a Domain name, you have to check the availability of that Domain Name on GoDaddy. If it is available than Proceed to check out and pay $ 10 (1 Year Fee). The Domain Name will be in your GoDaddy account right away.
Step:2 Log on to your Blogger account and go to Settings –> Publishing –> Private Domain/Advanced Settings Option. First of all click on “Switch to Private Domain” Option. Now Enter your new Domain Name in the “Your Domain” Option and click Ok.
Step:3 Now Login into your GoDaddy Account and Click on your Domain Name. You will be redirected to the Domains Control Panel. Click on “Total DNC Control” Button at the bottom of the Total DNS Section.
Here you have to change the CNAME of your server. See the first Host name under CNAME. It will be www. Click on the Modify Button and change the CNAME from @ to ghs.google.com
And Click Ok.
You are Done….!!!!
Let me tell you in layman’s language that what you have done. You have changed the CNAME of your Domain name and give your Blogger/Google Server the Command to transfer the Domain Name of your Blogspot Blog.
It will take 24-48 hours. Because once you give this command, Google & GoDaddy have to inform every server in this world that, they are doing so with your permission. After 24 hours, your Blog will be transferred.
You don’t need to build any another website for this. Once you do this, Your Domain Name will be on GoDaddy & your Blog will be hosted on the same FREE Blogspot Host.
Now, suppose, if you want to change your Host to the private host than the procedure is technically difficult. I advise Hostgator.com as a Best Private Hosting provider. But unless your Blog is earning few thousand dollars every month, No need to shift to private Host….
