How to use custom domain in blogger, not subdomain?

I have blog on blogger example.blogspot.com and a domain example.com. I tried to use custom domain with blogger and added it to Blogger settings. Now my blog is hosted at:

blog.example.com

I want a CNAME or something to point my domain example.com to blog.example.com or example.com as my blog. I don't want the domain to Redirect to subdomain as it is bad for SEO. I have seen in Google Blogger Support that there is an option for redirect domain to blog's subdomain. But that doesn't appear on my Blogger settings?

Solution

  • I followed @guerrilla's steps but after 2 days, Address resolution for example.com failed. But www.example.com was working. So, I found a solution somewhere else on the web! Because the Google Guide asks to create A-Record such that

    example.com -> 216.239.32.21

    example.com -> 216.239.34.21

    example.com -> 216.239.36.21

    example.com -> 216.239.38.21

    Thats where was the problem.

    Solution:

    1. Use www.example.com . The option will appear in Blogger Settings to redirect example.com to www.example.com. Check that. (by @guerrillaa)

    2. Add Following A-Records:

    @ -> 216.239.32.21

    @ -> 216.239.34.21

    @ -> 216.239.36.21

    @ -> 216.239.38.21
