The New Blogger has recently rolled out its latest feature - custom domain. With custom domain, you can have your own domain name like www. myblog.com and have your blog hosted with Blogger for free. You may also choose to host your blog with a third party web host or even on your own, but you will have to grapple with various issues like the hassle of publishing your posts via FTP (File Transfer Protocol). A big disadvantage of hosting on your own is that many of the new features of the New Blogger like drag-and-drop Layout, Label List, etc., will not be available to you as you will have to use the old classic Blogger template.
Others who don't use custom domain will have to live with sub-domain like www.blogging-basic.blogspot.com. Some don't like it because they say the sub-domain does not belong to them, but to Blogger. In addition, some are of the opinion that sub-domain are command less respect from surfers, rather like using a home as an office.Just read this interesting news that you can have your own custom domain, still use the Blogger platform and not need to get someone to host the blog because Blogger will host it for you for free! And you need not bother with FTP (File Transfer Protocol)! You don't even have to find someone to host your blog and pay for the monthly/yearly hosting fees! This is indeed good news for blogger who want their own domain like www.xxxxx.com instead of a sub-domain www.xxxxx.blogspot.com. See How do I use a custom domain name on my blog?. This is only for those who are using the New Blogger (formerly Blogger Beta), not for those still using the old (classic) Blogger.Why own domainFirst, why some people want their own domain like www.myblog.com instead of www.myblog.blogspot.com. People have compared using blogspot for their blog to having a free Yahoo! or Google email address. They say having an email address likemyname@mysite.com
command more respect than having an email address like myname@gmail.com. For me, I may quote the difference between having your business office at a proper office address rather than your own home.
Also, you have more control over your site. You own the site, not Blogger. Blogger can't take the site away from you. However, to be fair to Blogger, Blogger doesn't take away your blog (even blogs which have been neglected by the creators with no post or no update for umpteen years, much to the chagrin of those who wants those particular URL), except for what they identify as spamblogs.
How It is pretty simple. The first step is to register a domain (.com, .net, .org, .us, .co.uk, etc). A place which has gained a reputation for cheap domain registration is godaddy.com. There are many others.The next step is create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS (Domain Name System) with the registrar. (I will explain what DNS is all about below so it does not interfere with the flow of the instructions here) The instruction on how to do it you can get from the registrar. For example, if you register the domain with godaddy, the instructions are given here: Creating Your CNAME Record: GoDaddy.com. For your convenience, I reproduce here the instruction so you have an idea of what is involved so that you can see it is not something very complicated:
