Follow these steps to seamlessly connect your Namecheap domain to your Blogger account:

Step 1: Purchase a Domain from Namecheap (if not done already).

If you haven’t already purchased a domain from Namecheap, log in to your Namecheap account, search for your desired domain, and complete the purchase process.

Step 2: Access Blogger Settings.

Log in to your Blogger account.
From the Blogger Dashboard, select the blog you want to connect to your custom domain (if you have multiple blogs).
Navigate to “Settings” > “Basic.”

Step 3: Set Up a Third-Party Domain.

Under the “Publishing” section of the “Basic” settings, you’ll find your blog’s current URL. Click on the “Set up third-party URL for your blog” link.

Step 4: Enter Your Namecheap Domain.

In the popup window, enter your Namecheap domain in the format www.yourdomain.com.
Click the “Save” button.

Step 5: Configure DNS Settings.

After saving, you’ll see instructions for DNS configuration. These instructions provide DNS records you need to add to your Namecheap domain’s DNS settings. Leave the Blogger instructions open and log in to your Namecheap account.

Step 6: Modify DNS Records on Namecheap

In your Namecheap account, find the domain you want to connect to Blogger.

Go to the “Advanced DNS” settings.
Add the DNS records provided by Blogger: “CNAME” and “A” records.

Step 7: Verify Domain Ownership.

Return to the Blogger settings and click the “Save” button. Blogger will attempt to verify your domain ownership based on the DNS records you’ve added.

Step 8: Enable HTTPS.

Blogger supports secure connections, so make sure to enable HTTPS for your blog. This enhances security and user trust.

Step 9: Finalize and Redirect.

Once the domain ownership is verified and HTTPS is enabled, click the “Save” button. Your Namecheap domain is now connected to your Blogger blog.
