how to assign custom domain name to blogs?

**lemon_1800** · 22-01-09, 19:31

I know usually we have blog names like this "mysitenamecom.blogspot.com" or "mysitename.wordpress.org". I wonder are there any way to make the URL shorter like "mysitename.com". Suppose if I buy new domain "mysitename.com", can I assign this domain name to my blog?

for wordpress, you can do this easily by choosing Fantastico De Luxe on cpanel, then select wordpress to install wordpress blog to your domain.
For blogger, I don't know how.

Well, do we get control panel to manage our blog posts in wordpress.org website? Or else, are you talking about the fantastico installer which we find in our host server control panel?

for blogger too you can add custom domain.
you just go through the settings tab and you will see a option from which you can use your own custom domain.

We will controlling our WP as usually.
you need to login first on yourdomain.com/wp-admin then manage your wordpress from usual wordpress layout, not from cpanel.
Try it for free webhosting first like 000webhost.

Dear lemon, I don't know about blogger, but you can use your domain in wordpress blog. You need to download and install wordpress software.

Well, I'm using 000webhost but it is not supporting fantastico installer temporarily, so I'm not able to install wordpress scripts.

Suppose if I create a blog in wordpress.org website, I will have website name like this "http://www.mysitename.com/wordpress.org, right?
How to add my custom domain inside the wordpress.org website? Are there any option to add custom domain?

Settings then Publishing and Switch to: • Custom Domain
