How to Change Blogger Standard Domain To Co.cc
First of all you need a domain name registered at CO.CC in order to set it up for blogger. If you do not already have a CO.CC domain name you can register one by following my tutorial Get a Free Domain Name + Free DNS service. Once you have it Go to your CO.CC domain name account. Then, go to Domain Settings. Click on the domain that you want to setup and click “Set UP“. Then, select the option number 2 which is Zone Records. Fill in the box with all the following value in the picture. Make sure you also include the WWW with it. After that, click setup.
Then, you also should add 3 more zone records to the settings. Why we do this? This is to make sure that your domain also can be accessed with and without the www infront of it. So, if anyone type yourdomain.co.cc instead of www.yourdomain.co.cc, they will be directed to your www.yourdomain.co.cc.
First, you need to add 3 more Zone Record follow by the following diagram. Make sure the Type is A, not CNAME. We have already setup CNAME before. Also do not include the WWW in the domain host. Just put yourdomain.co.cc. Then, use the following for the Value:
When, you’re done you will have 4 Record Zone in your setting. 3 type A and one type CNAME just like the following diagram.
Now, we have already done setup everything in CO.CC. Lets move to the Blogger to setup the domain and replace your blogspot domain with this free domain name. In your blogger dashboard, click on Settings.
After Setting, click on the Publishing Tab. Then, select Custom Domain and click on Switch to advanced settings. Fill your domain name in the your domain including with WWW in it. Enter the word verification and lastly click Save Settings.
After Saving Settings a new OPTION will appear with under the Domain name as shown in the figure check the box. Enabling this option will Redirect yourdomain.co.cc to www.yourdomain.co.cc.
Now you’re DONE! The domain name will setup after a few minutes or hour or maybe taking a day or two. Just wait for it. During this period you may see your domain name still redirect to co.cc main homepage. But don’t worry, it is a normal situation for a domain to update. Just wait for it.
Stay tuned.
