Blogger is a popular tool for the blog website by Google. Blogger is hosted on Google servers and uses the subdomain like subdomain.blogspot.com. Fortunately, Google also allows us to host our own custom domain on Blogspot sites. Here we are going to explain how to point your custom domain to a Blogspot site. 

Prerequisites to point a custom domain

1: A blogger Account: First you have to set up your blogger account and blog.


C-Name: A CNAME, or Canonical Name, is an entry within the Domain Name System (DNS) that specifies where someone can find your web pages. You’ll use the CNAME to associate your custom domain with your blog. You can find your blog website C Name form Setting>Basic Section.
