2. Find DNS (Domain Name System) management settings page. This page can be located at your hosting dashboard, tab or dropdown menu. Just find it anyway.
3. Inside your DNS managent page you will find two records name. These are CNAME Records and A-Records. CNAME records connects your blog with your own purchased custom domain name.
4. Click Advance Settings or Manual Settings if you see any link like these.
5. Click CNAME Records or Add CNAME Records. Inside your CNAME Records window type "www" in "Name" box. Then enter ghs.google.com where it asks for "Host Name"
6. Click Save and you are almost done.
An example for a "CNAME"
Example: (shinemat.com) » » » (www.shinemat.com)
From my personal experience I can say many visitor don’t type "www" before your web URL(s). So if you don’t set your A-Records for your custom domain you will lose huge amount of traffic because they will see an error notification page. So it’s very important, and don't forget to create A-Records. You need to create 4 A-Records only.
1. Similarly before, find A Records under DNS management page.
2. Inside A Records window type your custom domain name without "www"
3. In "A" section enter the following IP addresses. Remember, 1 IP for 1 A Record. That means 4 A-Records.
4. After creating four A-Records you are finished second part.
An example for a "A Record"
1. Log in to your Blogger Blog account
2. Click on your blog title
3. Select Settings from left side menu.
4. Click Basic
5. Find Publishing, Blog address
6. Click Add a Custom Domain
7. Click Switch to advanced settings
8. In Advance Settings type your full custom domain name.
Example: www.shinemat.com
9. Click Save and you are fully done.
Now wait at most 24 – 48 hours for completing all update and process. Then you and your worldwide visitors can browse your blog with a new, fresh and professional looking domain name.
