What is a Custom Domain ?
When you register your blogspot blog, you will get a new blog with some URL like http://yourblogname.blogspot.com . This blog will be hosted on Google’s servers and you can make posts on your blog by logging in at Blogger.Com. Now Custom domain means that we will be using our own domain name instead of having the .blogspot.com extension. That is our blog URL will look something like http://www.yourblogname.com When you use a custom domain, your blog will still be hosted on Google’s servers and you can continue making posts from Blogger.Com as you usually do.So the only thing that changes is the blog’s URL
How much does this Cost?
For using a custom domain you should buy your own domain name. The price of the domain name will vary depending on the domain extension that you choose. But normally most of us will prefer to buy domains which ends with a .COM .COM, .ORG , .NET domains will cost something under 10 US Dollars. So you just need to spend 10 dollars and you can have your blog running at the new domain which you buy.
Where to Buy the domain from?
There are many domain registration websites. You can directly buy your domain from any of them. But if you are a little lazy, then you can buy the domain directly from Blogger.Com .Actually Blogger is not a Domain Registrar and they buy domains for you from third party sites. So i always prefer to buy from other domain registration sites.
