Point domain name to Blogspot

To use a custom domain name to point it to your blog at Blogger, three steps are involved.

You may need to register the domain name WITH DNS Management when you make the order at our secure order page.
After the domain name is successfully registered, kindly log into our Billing System (https://secure.gbnetwork.com/clientarea.php). Click on My Domains and click on Manage Domain.



Make sure your Nameservers are set to Custom Nameserver (as below). Save the settings by click button Change Nameservers.

dns1.gbnetdns.com
dns2.gbnetdns.com
dns3.gbnetdns.com
dns4.gbnetdns.com




Log in to Blogger.com and go to Settings > Basic > Publishing.

Click Custom domain to set a third-party URL for your blog.



Enter your domain URL. Blogspot will display the required information for the domain's DNS settings.



Log in to your Client Area. On the Manage bar and select DNS Management.



Enter your domain name under the Hostname, and list the IP under the Address. You will need to create 4 separate A-records which point to 4 different Google IPs.

216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21


Create CNAME records. (Be aware, there is a dot behind).



Optional: After adding both CNAME, You can also enter A-records, which links your domain (without “www”) to an actual site (www.example.com). If you skip this step, visitors who leave off the “www” will see an error page

After setting the DNS record, kindly allow about an hour for your DNS settings to propagate.

The last step is to update your blogger settings. You'll do this on the Settings | Basic tab for your blog in Blogger. Find the area for "Publishing", and click the link to set up a third-party URL for your blog.

Enter the URL for your custom domain name in the text provided, and click Save.

Note:
This only application to the domain name registered with (.com, .net, .org, .info, .biz).
The DNS Management is not bundled with domain registration, make sure you have purchased it when registering the domain name.
The custom domain name may take up to 72 hours to be fully resolved after the DNS is updated.
