How to use Bigrock domain with Blogger.

Blogger  is a blog publishing platform which is absolutely free of cost. Unlike WordPress, Blogger does not allow the blogs to be hosted on any other server except their own. But fortunately custom urls are allowed instead of just domain names with blogspot.com. But to establish this, you would need to buy a domain name from a service provider and then map it to your blog on blogger.

In this article we would like to give you a step by step procedure on how you can use your domain from BigRock with blogger.

First login into your Big rock Control Panel. Click on the domain name under the List of Orders.

Click on DNS Management on the right hand side menu and then click on Manage DNS

You will by default be under A Records. Click on Add A Record and leave the Host Name blank and enter 216.239.32.21 in the Destination IPv4 Address. Do not make any changes to the TTL and click on Add Record.

Follow the same procedure and add 3 more A Records with the following Destination Destination IPv4 Address.

216.239.34.21

216.239.36.21

216.239.38.21

This is how you’re A Records should look like.

On the same page click on CNAME Records and then click on Add CNAME record. In the host name type in www and in the value select the second radio button and then enter the value ghs.google.com. Once the values are entered then click on Add Record.

Now you will need to login into you Blogger Account and Click on the Blog Name that you will like to setup with your new domain name.

You will then need to click on Settings on the left hand side and under settings click on Basic.
Under Publishing Click on Add a custom domain. Enter your domain name in the textbox and click on Save.
Then your blog ask you to verify authority on that domain name. Now you have to create another cname record in Domain DNS to verify.

Simply add cname as we have done for adding www and ghs.google.com, no need to create it again. Create cname only using verification codes

First code in  Name box and Second long code in Value Box of Cname.

 Now After following all above steps carefully it may take few hours to updates DNS settings and blog verification. After few hours add domain name again by switching custom settings in your blogs.
