    Yes you can. Use 301 redirect: register domain name and change name servers. Add domain name to the web hosting account, upload content. Then install 301 redirect on your old domain name. That can be done as on the server side as using htaccess file

    I'd defiantly get your own domain and then you have full control over it. Plus your own domain will never be removed or changed in the future if Blogspot suddenly change their policies.

    You'll have to move the original posts one by one if you want to keep them, make sure you delete them from blogger when you move them so their isn't any duplicates :)
