Blog domain name

TerryTibbs_3

Hi all,
have recently started a blog on blogspot, and I would like to buy a domain name for it (.com). Any suggestions for a good registration site?

Also given my blog would be hosted on blogspot, would I need to pay any fees to the registration/hosting company other than the initial purchase of the domain name?
Many thanks!

Easily.co.uk are reliable and simple, but you can get domains slightly cheaper all over the place. All you need is "web forwarding" (incl name server service), not hosting. You just point all traffic coming to https://www.blahblahblah.co.uk to blahblahblah.blogspot.com through a web interface. Domain sellers are much alike.

Many thanks for the reply paddy. What I want isn't so much a redirect (easy to setup), but for my actual blogger domain name to change to www.myblogname.com (not the real address!). I have already purchased the domain name I want.

I came across some tutorials on youtube for how to do this:

Hope it helps somebody out there!

p.s. Talk to me!

So you're all sorted? If not, take a little care messing with your DNS settings, it's possible to mess those up if you're not confident :-) Oh, and some registrars let you use their name servers, others only offer web forwarding.

Yes took about 6 hours to kick in, but am all set up now. Many thanks to all!
