A Blogger custom domain is much easier to remember than a lengthy subdomain. A shorter and simpler domain name is also preferable when it comes to advertising and promoting your blog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Looks Professional<\/strong>. Custom URL domains can help to convey professionalism. Users are more likely to visit the blog URL <strong>MyAwesomeBlog.tld <\/strong>instead of <strong>myawesomeblog.blogspot.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Uses<\/strong>. Owning a custom domain name allows you to create your own <a href=\"\/ng\/business-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business email<\/a> account. Another benefit is that if you ever decide to make an online shop, you can purchase hosting and publish your store there while keeping the blog page intact.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>    <div class=\"domain-checker\">\n        <h3 class=\"domain-checker__heading\">Domain Name Checker<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"domain-checker__description\">Instantly check domain name availability.<\/p>\n        <form id=\"domain-checker-form\" class=\"domain-checker__form\" action=\"\/domain-checker\">\n           <div class=\"domain-checker__icon\">\n               <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                   <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M15.3224 16.7375C13.9306 17.8263 12.1782 18.4752 10.2742 18.4752C5.74548 18.4752 2.07422 14.8039 2.07422 10.2752C2.07422 5.74646 5.74548 2.0752 10.2742 2.0752C14.803 2.0752 18.4742 5.74646 18.4742 10.2752C18.4742 12.1792 17.8253 13.9316 16.7366 15.3233L21.631 20.2179C22.0216 20.6084 22.0216 21.2416 21.631 21.6321C21.2405 22.0226 20.6073 22.0226 20.2168 21.6321L15.3224 16.7375ZM16.4742 10.2752C16.4742 13.6994 13.6984 16.4752 10.2742 16.4752C6.85005 16.4752 4.07422 13.6994 4.07422 10.2752C4.07422 6.85103 6.85005 4.0752 10.2742 4.0752C13.6984 4.0752 16.4742 6.85103 16.4742 10.2752Z\" fill=\"#1D1E20\"\/>\n               <\/svg>\n           <\/div>\n            <input\n                    class=\"domain-checker__input\"\n                    name=\"domain\" type=\"text\"\n                    placeholder=\"Enter your desired domain name\"\n                    value=\"\"\n            \/>\n            <input id=\"domain-submit\"\n                   type=\"submit\"\n                   value=\"Check\"\n                   class=\"domain-checker__button\"\/>\n        <\/form>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-set-up-a-custom-domain-for-blogger\">How to Set Up a Custom Domain for Blogger<\/h2><p>This section will cover the steps on how to set up a custom domain for Blogger.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-1-purchase-a-domain-name\">Step 1.
