Are you publishing your blog with Blogger.com? Are you feeling that your long domain name like your-blogname.blogspot.com, giving you bad reputation at many points of view? If your answer is yes! Then you came to right place and read out my post.

WHY SHOULD I CHANGE blog url TO CUSTOM DOMAIN? 

Search engines except Google, rest of all will never result your blogspot well at their listing. Social networking sites don’t like your blogspot.com tag when compared with top level domain. They don’t love to back link you. Moreover, the blogspot.com domains are blocked by some Internet service providers including China. You can also get custom e-mail like [email protected] with Google Apps. So this time, I am posting step by step guide to set up a custom domain using Dot.tk.

3. For the first CNAME, enter Host Name as “www” and IP address as “ghs.google.com”. It is fixed for any blog. Second CNAME record needs dynamically generated values. It means Host name with dynamically generated name (which is highlighted in blue) and IP Address with dynamically generated value like “gv-xxxxx.domainverify.googlehosted.com” (which is highlighted in pink). These fields are different for different blogs. Do not forget  to select record type as CNAME record.

4.  To make your naked domain available, you have to add A record with following details. select record type as A record, then fill Host Name field with your dot tk domain without www (example: bravotecharena.tk ) and IP address as 216.239.32.21
