How to add a custom domain, sub-domain to blogger from cpanel

You can easily map your blogger's blogspot blog to use a custom domain name from your cpanel using this tutorial as your guideline. I have also included tips to help you use a sub-domain instead of the root address for your custom domain name.
Below is my step to step guides to help you achieve this easily.

• Assuming you already have an active website and just interested in using the sub-domain on your old blogspot blog.

==>   Log in to your website cpanel
==> Locate "domains" ==> Advanced DNS Zone Editor

==> Select the domain name you want to use from the drop-down list
==> Create a "CNAME" record to point to google's server using the details below;

• CNAME (Alias) = The sub-domain you intend using. (eg. blog.mysite.com, news.myplaycite.com etc.)
• Pointing to = ghs.google.com
• TTL = 14400 

See the image below for the demo;

 

==> Tap the "Add Record" button to save your settings

==> Log in to your blogger dashboard

==> Click on settings –> Basic –> Blog address –> + Add a custom domain (Point your own registered domain to your blog.)

==> Enter your new domain name and save (at this point, google will tell you that you must claim your domain name first)

==> Now take note of the secret keys google generated for you after the warning message (That’s what we need for the final steps)

==> Create another “CNAME records” using the values below

• CNAME (Alias) = short security key
• Pointing to = long security key
• TTL = 14400

==> Tap the "Add Record" button again to save your settings

==> Now, you need go back to your blogger's dashboard and add the custom domain using the sub-domain prefix you 've chosen.

• Assuming you have just bought a domain name you intend using 

If this part applies to you, you will need created your "CNAME" records with "www.mysite.com" instead of the sub-domain.
Eg. where we have "mybin.obasimvilla.com" will normally be changed to to "www.mysite.com" assuming this is the domain name you bought.
