    Hello,

    I want to set up custom domain with blogger. I have registered domain with Name.com

    I entered all cname and A record. As per blogger requirement then i activated google apps but after activating it is redirecting me to google sites instead of blogger.

    Please help me to set up my domain DNS :( I can post DNS page screenshot if you want.

    Thank you in anticipation! Rep will be added to all posters :)

    I guess you might have added the same registered domain name in the google sites also. Remove it first if it is at the same sub-domain where you want blogger.

    Then, login to blogger.com, go to settings, then publishing, then custom domain.

    Add the registered domain name there. Include www. or blog.**.com before the domain name, else blogger wont accept. Then save settings.

    Now for the same subdomain, you should add a ghs.google.com cname at Name.com.

    Now when you type yourdomain.com in web browser, it will go to your google sites site. if you add www or blog before the yourdomain.com, you will be redirected to blogger blog.

    Thank you for help! :) I have removed all Google Apps records.

    Let me first have blogger ;)

    BTW Which record should I delete to remove Google sites from homepages?

    You dont need to delete anything here. But, go to google sites, the site which is appearing in the registered domain.

    Search for the add more domains option. There you might have given your registered domain name. delete it.

    The exact location is, Your Google Sites Site>> More Actions>> Manage Site>> Settings >> Web Address. There see for your registered domain name, and remove it.
