    Hey guys. I've seen some domain names that are hosted on blogspot.

    Is this possible ? I mean, I have my own domain name (.com) and I want to host it for free at blogspot. Is this true ? If yes, can you install word press or other blog platform ?

    Please help me, thanks.

    You can only use the Blogger software on that domain.
    It is a hosted blog - not hosting space.

    if you have your own domain, i suggest getting your own webhost and host wordpress. much better.

    Your best bet is to get a paid host and install wordpress manually or through fantastico in your cpanel.

    yes, u can host ur domain with blogspot.
    but u hav to use the blogger software. cant install any other platform there.
    u r not getting space to upload ur files there. it is all about custom domain.
    when u use ur domain with ur blogspot blog, blogger will redirect ur blogspot url to your domain using CName record.
