Hi,Need advice here. I have a domain (www.xxxx.com) purchase from some where else but hosted in godaddy. I wish to create sub-domain (blog..xxxx.com) and point to blogger. Is this doable? If yes, can share how to do it?Thanks in advance.
This is doable. You will want to set a CNAME record to point to your blogger account. CNAME A CNAME, or Canonical Name, record is an entry within the Domain Name System (DNS) that specifies where a user can find your web pages, or any other URL. You'll use the CNAME to associate your custom domain with your blog. After registering your domain, decide if you want to use a particular subdomain for your blog. E.g. instead of domain<dot>com you could use something like blog.mydomain.com, if you want. Then you'll create a corresponding CNAME record for that address, associating it with ghs.google.com. Keep in mind that changes to DNS records make take up to 48 hours to take effect. Each hosting service has slightly different ways to create CNAME records. Guidelines are provided here for some of the common services. When in doubt, check with the particular company you're using for additional help or instructions. GoDaddy.com Log in to your account at godaddy. Open the Domains tab and select My Domain Names. You'll be directed to the Domain Managerpage. Click the domain that you'd like to use with your blog. Click the Total DNS Control And MX Records link at the bottom of the section entitled Total DNS. Click Add New CNAME Record in the box labelled CNAMES (aliases). If you've already created a CNAME record for your blog's address, click the pencil icon next to the existing CNAME record. For the Name, enter only the subdomain of the address you want to use for your blog. For example, if you picked www.mydomain.com as your address, enter www here. Enter ghs.google.com as the Host Name. Specify a TTL or use the default setting of 1 hour. Click OK, and then click OK again. I hope that helps!
