Easy steps to connect Namecheap domain name to a BlogSpot in 2026

Base on the comments and questions I have been receiving from some of my readers. I got to find out that a lot of new bloggers are still finding it difficult to connect domain name registered with Namecheap to blogger site.

So I’ve decided to throw out this piece of article to guide my audience in achieving linking their already registered domain name to BlogSpot site. This can be any domain extension of your choice.

Anyways, I assume you’ve already gotten your preferred domain name from Namecheap. You can also connect domain name from other registrars to your blogger site by carefully following the steps I am about showing here.

First thing first, login to your blogger admin and navigate to the very blog you want to link your domain with.

Now I so much believe that you have landed in your blogger Admin area, now, from the menu list at your left hand side, click the settings as displayed in the image below.

Next you will be taking to the page where you can setup most of the important settings about your blog site.

Scroll down a bit and under publishing, click custom domain and an input field will pop up asking you to provide the custom domain you want to connect with your site.

Note: ensure you add “WWW” before your domain. After you’re done typing in your domain name, click “SAVE” and blogger will send you an error message, containing you’re the domain destinations that you need to enter into the provided fields in your Namecheap dashboard.

Now that you’ve gotten your domain destination values from BlogSpot, let’s move over to Namecheap. Login your Namecheap account and navigate to the domain you want to use and click “MANAGE” at the right hand side on your screen.

From the next page display, click the “ADVANCE DNS” and you get to see the input fields where you can enter those destinations from the error blogger message. Don’t panic, it is very easy and I am here to walk you through it without any stress.

First go back to your BlogSpot Admin and copy the first name “www” and destination “ghs.google.com”. Note: these two are always the same for every blogger.

After you’ve gotten them, move to your Namecheap dashboard and paste them accordingly as it appear in the image below. Set type to “CNAME Record”, set host to “www” and set value to “ghs.google.com”.

TYPE-> CNAME Record

HOST-> www

VALUE-> ghs.googles.com

 

Next is to go back to the BlogSpot dashboard to retrieve the second name and destination values as we did for the first two initially.

Note: these are the two values each blogger gets individually. What blogger "A" get is different from what blogger "B" get. So keep this in mind and don’t use mine.

Same thing as we did for set type to “CNAME Record”, set host to “6inharlqgx2k” the second name value, set value to ”gv-tl26q3an55h6qw.dv.googlehosted.com” the second destination.

TYPE-> CNAME Record

HOST-> 6inharlqgx2k

VALUE-> gv-tl26q3an55h6qw.dv.googlehosted.com

We are almost there. We still have one more step to take before we can save every setting so far.

Now we have to set auto redirect. Still on the blogger dashboard where you’ve typed in your domain, click the “support page link” right after the domain destination values.

Next, Google will take you to a page where you can copy the redirect values and enter in your Namecheap input fields, like as we did with the destination values.

This time around, you need to set the type option to “A Record” and the host option to “@” and lastly the value option, you paste the value you copied from Google support page. You have to repeat this step for all the four values.

TYPE-> A Record

HOST-> @

VALUE-> 216.239.38.21       

After you’re done doing that, go back to your BlogSpot Admin and click the save button.

Now you’ve successfully connected your domain name to your blogger site. Make sure you also turn on the auto redirect from your blogger end.

If connecting your namecheap domain name direct with blogger is difficult, then you should try out linking your domain with olitt.com. olitt is very safe and secure. Your site will never encounter any problem except it is from your domain registrar.

I assume you it is much easier when compare to connecting the domain direct to blogspot. To get it done, follow the few steps I am going to show you below.

Guide 1: visit www.olitt.com and create your account with them, you’re not going to pay for any service here. After you done creating your account, check the level step to continue.

Guide 2: go to namecheap.com and navigate to your domain DNS and choose custom DNS and replace your current ones with the ones below

Guide 4: refresh the DNS management page you’ll get to see your domain name added. Now you will see a manage button and delete button. If you want to remove or disconnect your domain, go for the delete button, but we’re going for the manage button because we want to connect our domain to blogger.

Guide 5: when the manage page finish loading, press the ADD RECORD button at the right hand corner of the page and enter the following values as demonstrated as the example below.
