You want the domain root to point to your blogger blog. So we have to hand over the root domain to blogger. To do this we should create a CNAME record for www with value ghs.google.com </p> <p>You wont be able to create this CNAME(unless you have paid more for some VPS or some hosting which gives you the permission to do it by yourself).So ask your webhost to create such a CNAME for you.When your host creates such a CNAME for you, your domain root(www) will be hosted at google's servers. So you can switch your blogspot domain to the customdomain <a href="http://www.yourdomain.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.yourdomain.com</a></p> <p>So now you are done with your blogger blog part.<br /> Next you need the forum on your subdomain.To do that login to your hosting control panel and add the subdomain forums.yourdomain.com and install some forum script there..</p> <p>I hope this helps. I already have a similar kind os setup for my forums and blog. :)</p> <p>Additional Stuff : you can enable google apps on the domain if you ask the host to create necessary CNAME A and MX records needed for google apps :) </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-6851 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:59:31 +0000 Anonymous 6851@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>hey first host your forum. then link your forum with cname "forum" and point it to your hostin space. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-6784 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:30:33 +0000 Anonymous 6784@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Check out this article <a href="http://www.drudam.com/2009/10/create-sub-domains-for-custom-domains.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.drudam.com/2009/10/create-sub-domains-for-custom-domains.html</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/adding-new-domain-to-google-blogger-custom-domain#post-6363 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:22:16 +0000 Anonymous 6363@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Blogger does not allow domains without WWW (naked domains) in custom domain.

You can have a forum that can be linked to the blog and possibly you can integrate the blog/forum by using a Content Management System like Drupal or Joomla so the look and feel remian the same. But using only Blogger, ties your hands to a great degree. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/forum-to-blogger-custom-domain#post-6109 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 01:28:51 +0000 Anonymous 6109@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Guys, i use a blogger account, but recently switched to a custom domain (.com).<br /> I just wanna know how i can add a forum on my new blog. Yes i saw the earlier discussions on this topic, but not convinced.<br /> I even tried STEALING codes from other blogs, that is right click on the forum page, view source code, copy it, edit etc.. but miserably failed. Oooops...</p> <p>I don't want to use third party so-called free forum hosting options. They suck. Since i have a first grade domain i would prefer to use it as a sub domain within my new custom domain. </p> <p>Could anyone help me please ? Looking for some codes so i can customise to my needs. Or any other way please. Thank you in advance. help appreciated. </p> <p>Rehani </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/adding-new-domain-to-google-blogger-custom-domain#post-5949 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:10:45 +0000 Anonymous 5949@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I have registered a new domain (www.mydigg.in) and used blogger's custom domain feature to serve my blog (lognot.blogspot.com) in this new domain.

If this is the reason then very soon you'll see a PR of 4 for this URL as well.</p> <p>PR depends upon SEO as well and hence you may like to check if the custom domain based URL is as optimized for Google as the one based on the blogspot domain. But, PR of 3 itself shows that you have alredy followed almost all the Google Webmaster Guidelines. So very little chance of having this as the reason.</p> <p>BTW PRs do keep fluctuating at least in some cases. That may also be one of the possible reasons and in that case also you just need to wait a while to see a PR of 4. All the best!</p> <p>Plz let us know in case you find any other reason for the relatively lower PR or maybe other pro-bloggers may like to chip in with their relevant experience.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Geek<br /> <a href="http://geekexplains.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://geekexplains.blogspot.com</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/page-rank-on-custom-domain#post-3050 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 14:58:48 +0000 Anonymous 3050@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>It must be because it is hosted on blogger, which has a better PageRank.

However, by experience I recommend use of generic domains such as .com or .net. Country domains tend to change the Google influenced traffic pattern. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain#post-2137 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:17:42 +0000 Anonymous 2137@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Thanks to both amit and kiran. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain#post-2125 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:46:16 +0000 Anurag 2125@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I guess Rajesh at <a href="http://www.yaxis.in" rel="nofollow">http://www.yaxis.in</a> is using Blogger with Custom domains. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain#post-2123 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 10:57:26 +0000 Anonymous 2123@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Hi Johnadam,<br /> I not sure if you read these instruction at blogger.com.
