Previously I’ve explained about how to set Blogger custom domain registered under GoDaddy. But as it works only for http://www.yourdomain.com then we’ll need to make a redirection page. Redirection page is useful for redirecting http://yourdomain.com to http://www.yourdomain.com – best of it GoDaddy provides free limited hosting account for each domain registered. As far as I know we’ll get about 10 Mb hosting space (of about 300Mb bandwith). But I think it is fine enough just to make a redirection page.
First, make a new page (use Notepad, Dreamweaver, etc) and copy code below to your new page. Then name it as index.html file.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;URL=http://www.yourblogurl.com" />
<title>YourBlogName.com</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
color: #666666;
}
.style2 {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 24px;
color: #663399;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p> </p>
<p align="center" class="style2">Welcome to YourBlogName</p>
<!-- Welcome Image edit/delete this part -->
<p align="center"><img src="your-pic-url.jpg" alt="http://www.yourdomain.com" border="0" /></p>
<p align="center" class="style1">You'll be redirected in about 5 seconds.<br />
Otherwise <a href="http://www.yourblogurl.com/">click here</a> to go directly. Please hold on.
</p>
</body>
</html>
Edit code above using your own domain name.
Now log in to your GoDaddy account. Go to “Hosting & Servers > My Hosting Account” menu.
Next you’ll find your Free Hosting Credits you could use. Click Use credit.
Tick the agreement statement and click Next button.
Just continue each step until you finish. Next you have to wait until your hosting account being activated. Once your hosting account has been activated, go to hosting control panel and click File Manager icon.
Inside file manager page you can upload previously made an index.html file.
Ok you’re done now. You may customize your redirect page using editor tool provided by GoDaddy.
Now test your url. Open a new browser / tab (Ctrl+N or CTRL+T). Now type your url at http://youdomain.com (without www). You can see how it works here and it'll redirected at here. Have fun.
