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/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-1773 Fri, 02 May 2008 09:01:01 +0000 Anonymous 1773@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Yes, it should be possible.</p> <p>Go to your Domain Control Panel and create the sub-domain and set a path to it.</p> <p>For ex:- forum.domain.com path: public_html/forum</p> <p>Since, your domain is hosted in xyz hosting company. You must have already set its name servers. </p> <p>All you have done is created a CNAME records so that domain points to blogger. </p> <p>Although, your domain is pointing to blogger, you can still create sub-domain and A record will be pointed to your hosting account. If this does not work contact your hosting Company and tell them to point forum.domain.com to your hosting account IP. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-1772 Thu, 01 May 2008 20:57:17 +0000 Anonymous 1772@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I'm already having a hosting account and how do redirect the subdomain of my blog to that space.I have installed the forum software in that space.</p> <p>Do i have to change anything like CNAME or A record or something like that in the godaddy control panel. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-1771 Thu, 01 May 2008 19:17:29 +0000 Anurag 1771@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>You'll probably have to buy hosting space from GoDaddy (or other places like Dreamhost or one.com) - then create a new sub-domain and install your forum software. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/custom-domain-blogger-blog-with-forumplz-help#post-1769 Thu, 01 May 2008 17:14:48 +0000 Anonymous 1769@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I'm having a blog with blogger on a custom domain(www.mydomain.com) domain is registered with Godaddy.But now i also want forum in the subdomain like "forums.mydomain.com" or "www.mydomain.com/forums".<br /> Since blogger doesn't allow the second option,how can i build a forum in the subdomain.</p> <p>p.s I already have a reseller hosting account</p> <p>Please help me.. </p>
