Like what I explore in this topic, there are many ways to make blog with your own domain address such as http://domainname.com. However there are two common ways among all, are :

1. Self hosted Wordpress Blog – buying domain + rent hosting and install the blogware wordpress. (which we already talked before )
2. Custom Domain Blogger.com – making blog in blogspot, buying domain, direct the blog in blogspot to the domain we purchased which we will discuss now

The concept of custom domain is very simple. Having blog in blog spot is very easy and cheap even free. However the blog in blogger / blogspot has one problem: the URL address will be very long since you have to add : blogspot.com), which look very general and not very professional.

Therefore you need to have custom domain. Here is the concept : supposing you have one blog in blogspot with address : http://yourname.blogspot.com. looks cool enough, but the problem is : too long and too general and well.. does not look very professional, does it ?

You can have this domain http://yourname.com. with custom domain : http://yourname.blogspot.com that set up become http://yourname.com

In a simple way, custom domain blogger that is made under http://yourname.blogspot.com can be accessed through this address http://yourname.com.

Quite Simple, isn’t ?

1.Make the blog in blogger.com
2. Buy domain
3. Configure the domain and arrange the Custom Domain Blogger.
4. it will take sometimes to make your domain configuration fix and works properly, usually takes 1 X 24 hours until 1 X 48 hours.

The benefit of using Custom Domain Blogger

* It is not like self hosted worpress where we need to purchase domain and arrange the hosting, with custom domain blogger, we just need to purchase the domain and to arrange the host, we just use the server blogger.com

* We don’t need to be worried with the security since the server was handled by blogger.com

* the visitor that enter the blogger address, ex: http://yourname.blogspot.com) will be directed to the domain custom page (ex: http://yourname.com)
