How to use custom domain from 123-reg to your Blogger (Blogspot.com)

Many had asked the question, how do you use both version of your custom domain directed to your Blogger's blog.

Many had failed, even I when I did my domainseek.co.uk, as all instructions you find doesn't work.

Take a look at This WineStar.co.uk and www.winestar.co.uk

Now Here's How I did it:

1) Add a CNAME record on your 123-reg DNS, it should be www and Type : CNAME and the content should be ghs.google.com. <---- don't forget the full stop in the end or Blogger won't find your blog.

2) Then "important" delete the original www record, now your DNS setup page should look like this.
3) Go to "Web Forwarding" on your 123-red control panel, choose "Non-framed web-forwarding", any type in http://www.winestar.co.uk/ replace "WineStar.co.uk" with your domain. Like This :
4) Now wait about 24 hours, and the change your BlogSpot setting to this domain, and you now should be OK. You can ask me more questions if you still can't get it.

Hi Samuel,

Clear your internet cookies and give it 48 hours 123-reg can take a while.

If you followed my instruction. you should have no problem, try clearing everything and follow the steps again.

Also are you using 123-reg? because different registrar are all slightly different.
