Googlepages and/or blogspot on own domain possible?

    Just wondering if anyone know if its possible to set up my own domain for pages hosted with googlepages or blogspot? and if it is, how do one do that? Its kinda boring to have mysitename.googlepages.com as the adress to my site when I own tons of domains I would like to use if its possible.

    Thanks, and cheers

    Not quiet sure about google pages but of course you can do it with blog spot platform. My Maldives Travel Blog is blogger blog but, using my own domain.

    no wrong! You can just set a custom domain and continue to host on blogger. However you can host on private hosting but thats optional.

    I'm also using blogger for several blogs I own. You just need to buy domain names. Not sure about googlepage.

    google apps include google page creator? really? I thought pagecreator was still in beta and thus not part of the whole googleapps..I wish they had an api for it.

    https://www.google.com/a/smallbiz/ checkout the link over there, it's there since a very long time, I signed up with it when it was in beta, and invitation only, however I wasnt' able to use it for some reasons.

    In regards to using a subdomain service like blogspot or wordpress.com to host your content, but having the url reflect your own name, you have to register the domain name and map it to the free service. For wordpress.com, you can register and map a domain name for $15 a year. If you have your own domain name already, they will let you map it to your wordpress.com url for $10 a year.

    Googlepages can easily be put onto your own domain. Sign up for the latest story in my blog. It shows how you can get email, googlepages, and a custom google search page for your domain.
