Custom domain setting from blogger to dynadot.com DNS Record

Choose Forward and type in your domain name with http://www. on the front, for example: http://www.domain.com

In subdomain, key in www and then choose CNAME and point it to ghs.google.com

Screenshot:


In your Blogger Dashboard > Settings > Publishing > type in your domain name with www. (www.domain.com)

If your domain is not redirecting to its www. address (when you visit a non www address), tick the redirection box.



Previously:
I know many people who bought their domain name from http://dynadot.com/ had a really hard time setting it to work with Blogger.

You will only see your blog when you type in www. in front of your domain (eg. www.dualtranz.com) but when you type it without www., you'll get a blank page instead.

The solution to that problem:

Choose your domain name and go to Name Server Settings. Then look under Advance Dynadot DNS.

In Domain Record, set Record Type to A and the IP Address to 72.14.207.121

Then in Subdomain Records, type in www at subdomain,
set Record Type to CNAME and type in ghs.google.com at ip address. Lastly, click on Use Dynadot DNS button to confirm your changes. Here's an example:


Now at Blogger, set your custom domain under the Publishing tab and tick the redirect box below your domain name. Click on the following image:

Wait a few hours (some times up to 48 hours) for the DNS to update and you should be able to access your blog when you type in your domain name with or without www.
