- First login to your blogger account, from the blogger dashboard drop-down menu select Settings.
- Now from the publishing option click on "Setup a 3rd party URL for your blog".
- Here you will find a empty box enter your domain name that you registered on godaddy with 'www' then click on 'Save' button and you will find a error like the image below.
- Now you have to download the 'Zone file' for your DNS setting by clicking "DNS setting file" from the error message.
- In another tab of your browser log-in to your godaddy account. [keep the blogger tab open, we are coming back here after few minutes].
- Now from your domain list chose your desired domain and click on "Launch" button to edit DNS of that domain.
- After entering the domain details page click on "DNS Zone file" tab.
- Now from the DNS Zone file option select two record created by GoDaddy. One is "@ points to 184.168.221.**" from the A (Host) option. And the other one is "www points to @" from the CName (alias) option. For better understanding see the image below.
- Now delete those selected record by clicking delete option from the DNS menu.
- Now click "More" and select "Import Zone File".
- Browse for the zone file in your hard disk, that you downloaded from the blogger select and open it.
- After successfully uploaded you will find a pop-up like the image below, tick on "I understand this is important..." and click "Save" button.
- Don't be bore, you are almost done. Come back to your browser's blogger tab and click the orange save button again. I hope this time you will see no error.
- Now click on the "Edit" option.
- Give a tick on "Redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com" and for the last time hit the orange save button.
