How To Get DNS Zone File for Godaddy Blogger DNS Set Up

GoDaddy DNS service supports the Blogger DNS settings file, which contains all the DNS settings you need to set up a custom domain for your blogspot blog. This simply means you can easily change from .blogspot to .com by uploading the Blogger DNS zone file to your Godaddy DNS manager.



So, in this post, I will show you how to get the DNS zone file for Godaddy Blogger DNS set up.



How To Get Started



I assume you have an existing blog and you have already purchased a domain name on GoDaddy.com.



==> Sign in to your blog dashboard via www.blogger.com

==> Go to "Settings" > "Basic"

==> Click "+ Setup a 3rd party URL for your blog"

==> Enter the URL you would like to use for your blog (eg www.ogbongeblog.com)

==> Click 'Save".



You will see an error.

Now click on the "DNS settings file" link and save the DNS settings file.



That is the DNS zone file you will upload to godaddy to complete your Blogger custom domain set up.

==> Click "Import" and follow the instructions.



Once successfully imported, go back to Blogger settings to re-save your custom domain name.

How To Push or Transfer Godaddy Domain To Another User

If you register a domain name on Godaddy and would love to push it to another user account on godaddy.com, you can easily get it done if you know the email address of the recipient. i.e the email address the recipient used when opening his/her godaddy account.



This is a common practice among those that earn money online from domain name registration.



To get started, you will have to sign in to your Godaddy account, click on "Domains", select the domain name you want to move,  click the "more" button and click "Begin Account Change".

Thereafter, you will have to enter the recipient email address, username and new domain contact's information.



You can check out the step by step guide on godaddy website here.



Remember to select "Keep the current nameservers for this domain" to retain the current nameservers for the domain name. If you do not select this option, godaddy will park the domain name when the new registrant activates it in the new account.



I hope this helps.
