Blogger (Blogspot) ek aisa kamaal ka platform hai jahan koi bhi free me apna blog shuru kar sakta hai. Lekin jab aap apne blog ko serious lekar aage badhna chahte hain, toh .blogspot.com waala extension thoda unprofessional lagne lagta hai. Ek professional identity banane ke liye aapko chahiye hota hai ek custom domain (jaise: www.yourwebsite.com).
Apna khud ka domain kharidne ke baad sabse naya aur bada task hota hai use Blogger se sahi tarike se connect karna. Yahin par kaam aata hai DNS (Domain Name System) aur Blogger ka Theme HTML Editor. Agar yahan ek bhi mistake ho jaye, toh website open hona band ho jati hai ya fir canonical URL errors aane lagte hain.
Agar aap bhi is process ko lekar thode se confused hain, toh chinta mat kijiye! Is complete step-by-step guide me hum bilkul simple tarike se samjhenge ki DNS settings kaise karein aur Blogger HTML template me kon se badlav zaroori hain.
DNS Kya Hai aur Yeh Kyun Zaroori Hai?
Blogger settings me jaane se pehle, thoda sa basic samajh lete hain taaki aage ka process aapke liye ekdum crystal clear ho karne me aasani ho.
Computer ya internet hamari tarah 'names' (naam) nahi samajhta, woh sirf 'Numbers' samajhta hai jise hum IP Address kehte hain. Ab kisi ke liye bhi internet par maujood hazaron websites ke IP addresses ko yaad rakhna namumkin hai.
Isi problem ko solve karta hai DNS (Domain Name System). Yeh internet ki ek phonebook ki tarah hai. Jab aap browser me type karte hain yourwebsite.com, toh DNS use background me sahi IP address se match karke aapka blog open kar deta hai. Jab aap custom domain link karte hain, toh aap bas DNS records ke zariye domain provider ko batate hain ki aapka domain ab Blogger ke server par point karega.
Step 1: Blogger Dashboard Me Custom Domain Add Karein
Sabse pehle aapko Blogger ko batana hoga ki aap kaun sa domain use karne waale hain. Iske liye niche diye gaye steps follow karein:
- Apne Blogger Dashboard me login karein.
- Left side menu se Settings par click karein.
- Scroll karke Publishing section par aayein aur Custom domain par click karein.
- Ab apne domain ka poora naam type karein. Dhyan rahe: Domain ke aage
wwwlagana zaroori hai (jaise:www.mytechblog.com). - Save button par click karein.
Note: Save par click karte hi aapke samne ek error message aayega. Ghabraiye mat, yeh error bilkul normal hai! Blogger aapko do unique CNAME Records dikhayega, jinka use karke hume domain verify karna hoga. Is screen ko aise hi open rehne edin.
Step 2: Domain Provider Ki Website Par DNS Settings Open Karein
Aapne apna domain jahan se bhi kharida ho (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger, etc.), sabhi ka process lagbhag same hota hai.
- Apne domain registrar ki website par jaakar login karein.
- Apne Purchased Domains ki list me jayein aur us domain ko select karein jise connect karna hai.
- Wahan aapko DNS Management ya **DNS Zone Editor** ka option milega, uspar click karein.
Step 3: Blogger Ke CNAME aur A-Records Ko DNS Me Add Karein
Ab aapko Blogger ke dashboard par dikhe dono CNAME Records ko apne domain ki DNS settings me copy-paste karna hai.
1. CNAME Records Add Karein:
- Pehla CNAME: Host/Name me
wwwaur Points To/Destination meghs.google.comdaalein. - Doosra CNAME: Host/Name me Blogger se mila chota code aur Destination me uske samne waala lamba security code daalein.
2. A-Records Add Karein (Naked Domain Ke Liye):
Agar koi aapki website bina www lagaye open kare, toh bhi aapka naya domain sahi se khule, iske liye aapko charo IP addresses ko A-Record select karke Host me @ daal kar save karna hoga:
| Type | Host / Name | Points To (IP Address) |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 216.239.32.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.34.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.36.21 |
| A | @ | 216.239.38.21 |
Step 4: Blogger HTML Template Me Badlav (Very Important)
DNS records map karne ke baad jab aap settings save kar lete hain, toh baari aati hai aapke Blogger Theme ki HTML coding ko optimize karne ki. Kai baar custom domain lagane ke baad stylesheets sahi se load nahi hotin ya Google Search Console me domain ownership verify karne me dikkat aati hai.
Ise sahi karne ke liye hume Blogger HTML Editor me changes karne honge:
- Blogger Dashboard me left side panel se Theme par click karein.
- Customize ke paas bane drop-down arrow par click karke Edit HTML select karein.
1. New Custom Domain Ka Canonical Meta Tag Add Karna
SEO ke nazriye se yeh sabse zaroori step hai taaki Google aapke purane Blogspot URL aur naye Custom Domain URL me confuse na ho. HTML code me <head> tag ke thik niche naya canonical tag aur domain verification tag is tarah add karein:
<head> <!-- SEO Custom Domain Verification Meta Tag --> <meta content='Aapka-Google-Verification-Code-Yahan-Likhien' name='google-site-verification'/> <!-- Canonical URL Setup for Custom Domain --> <link expr:href='data:blog.canonicalUrl' rel='canonical'/>
2. HTML Me Hardcoded Blogspot Links Ko Update Karna
Agar aapne apni theme ke HTML code me pehle kahin par bhi menu bar, navigation links ya logo me apna purana blogspot link (jaise mysite.blogspot.com) manually add kiya hua tha, toh use ab control + F (Find) karke apne naye domain (www.mysite.com) se replace kar dein.
Step 5: HTTPS Status Aur Redirects Ko ON Karein
Ab hamara lagbhag saara technical kaam poora ho chuka hai. Wapas Blogger Settings me aakar yeh do settings turant enable kar dein:
- Redirect Domain: Ise ON karein taaki agar koi bina www ke bhi site khole toh woh auto-redirect ho jaye.
- HTTPS Availability & Redirect: In dono options ko ON kar dein. Isse aapki website par Green Padlock (Secure SSL Certificate) lag jayega jo SEO ke liye behad zaroori hai.
Conclusion
Blogger par custom domain setup karna aur uske sath HTML template ko optimize karna aapke blog ko ek naya professional look deta hai. Sahi DNS mapping aur HTML me canonical tags ka sahi use karne se aapki website ki loading speed aur search engine rankings dono me fayda milta hai. Is poore process ko sahi se karne ke baad, Google Search Console me naye domain ka sitemap submit karna bilkul mat bhooliyega!
