CMS platforms like Blogger.com & WordPress.com offer users to create a website for free. But they don’t provide a custom domain because the domain is very costly, but there are a few ways to purchase a domain at a low price.
Suppose your website is on blogger, and you purchased a domain name, so how can you connect a custom domain to blogger without any error.
If you want to know the step by step guide then this article is only for you.
Connecting domains with Blogspot website doesn’t requires any rocket science.
It is a very simple task that anyone can do.
Most of the newbie bloggers who have never done before. They think that if they make any mistake, the domain will be of no use.
