How to Point Your Blogspot to a Domain Name - 2023 Update

Blogger allows associating a custom domain purchased from a registrar to display instead of the default platform subdomain URL.

Then in the Blogger dashboard under Publishing settings, toggle to the Custom Domain section, choose Advanced setup, and enter your fully qualified domain name to save.
