Blogger Custom Domain Using NameCheap

I bought two .net domains on Namecheap. One is for my Ninja Saga blog  and the other one is for this blog. I bought .net domains because the .com is no longer available. But why do I use Namecheap instead of other popular sites like Godaddy? When I bought these domains,  my Paypal account is not verified. Namecheap accepts payments from unverified Paypal accounts. Below are the steps on how to achieve perfect redirection in Blogger and Namecheap.


1. Register you account first on Namecheap. After registration, immediately buy your domain name. A step by step instructions will be provided by Namecheap for you to follow.


2. After buying your domain name, open your Blogger account and do the following:




From your Blogger dashboard, select the blog you would like to have a custom domain. Click the "Settings" tab and then the "Publishing" tab located at the top left corner. Click the "Custom Domain" link and after that the" Switch to Advance Settings".


3. Input the domain name which you recently bought. After which you completed all the fields, hit "Save Settings". Review your settings, put a check on the redirect to box as seen below:















4. Login to your Namecheap account > Click on My Account > Manage Domains


5. Click on the domain name which you set for blog. Click on URL Forwarding under Host Management located on the left corner.


6. Enter the Following details



7. Hit Save and you are done!
