Blogger One-click Service

Last updated

Table of Contents

Blogger is a free blogging service from Google. The Blogger one-click service adds two CNAME records: one for your blog’s subdomain, such as www or blog, pointing to ghs.google.com, and the security CNAME that Blogger shows for your blog.

Get the records from Blogger first

Add your blog’s address, such as www.example.com, as a custom domain in Blogger. Blogger then shows two CNAME records. Keep the second one, the security CNAME, open: you need its name and destination in the next step. See Blogger’s guide to setting up a custom domain.

Add the Blogger service

To add the Blogger service
  1. From the domain list, click the domain name.
  2. Click the tab on the left side.

  3. In the card, click , or if the domain already has a service.

  5. In , enter the subdomain for your blog, such as www or blog.
  6. In , enter the short name Blogger shows for the second CNAME record.
  7. In , enter the destination Blogger shows for that record.
  8. Click .

To remove the service later, see Remove a one-click service.

Finish the setup in Blogger

Go back to Blogger and save the custom domain again. If Blogger cannot find the records yet, wait at least an hour and try again.

If your domain has CAA records, add one for letsencrypt.org. Without it, Blogger cannot create or renew the SSL certificate for your blog.

To send visitors from example.com to www.example.com, Blogger’s guide lists four A records for the domain apex and a redirect setting in Blogger. The service does not add those records, so add them in the record editor if you want the redirect.
