Are you publishing your blog with Blogger.com? Are you feeling that your long domain name like your-blogname.blogspot.com, giving you bad reputation at many points of view? If your answer is yes! Then you came to right place and read out my post.
Why should I change to custom domain?
Search engines except Google, rest of all will never result your blogspot well at their listing. Social networking sites don’t like your blogspot.com tag when compared with top level domain. They don’t love to back link you. Moreover, the blogspot.com domains are blocked by some Internet service providers including China. You can also get custom e-mail like admin@your-domain.com with Google Apps. So this time, I am posting step by step guide to set up a custom domain using Dot.tk.
Guide to set up a Dot Tk custom domain using free DNS service:
Step-I:
Go to Dot.tk website.
Enter your preferred Dot Tk domain name and click Go. If entered domain is available, you will be promoted for further steps.
Now it shows availability of your domain. For free domain you need to produce minimum of 25 hits per 90 days. Free domain has same services as paid domain. Select your choice and move on to next step.
Enter your blogspot URL and set registration length as 12 months. Now sign up with Dot Tk. Here you have to verify your Dot Tk account by email or you can also use social Networking accounts like facebook, yahoo, flicker etc.
Now log on to your Dot Tk account and click on Go to domains. You will get Domain Panel page and then click Modify Option.
Here, you will get Pop up window of Domain settings. Select Dot TK DNS Service and configure your DNS settings like below shown screenshot according to your domain name i.e. replace topbloggertricks.tk with your dot tk domain and keep all the remaining options same. Configurations methods are clearly explored in below image.
Add the host names with ip address to A-records like:
216.239.32.21 Here host name field is your Dot Tk Domain without WWW. Set CNAME records ip to ghs.google.com and host name field to your Dot Tk Domain with WWW.
