How to: Setup freely full custom domain from blogspot with Freenom

Blogger is free and Freenom is also free (at least for one year and can be extended continuously). Instead of using url forwarding which cannot show the full domain (like url of blog pages), we can setup fully custom domain with blogspot and Freenom (previously known as dot.tk).
Here is how:

1. Login to your blogger blogspot 
2. Go to Setting 
3. In Basic >> Publishing >> Blog address, click "setup third party for your blog". Hold on...

4. Go to your "my freenom" (https://my.freenom.com) 
5. Go to "My Domains menu", clik on "Manage domains" in line which your domain will be set. 
6. Click Management tools >> Nameserver >> Use default nameserver >> Change Nameserver If it is previously there, click "Use custom nameserver (enter below)" and click again Use default nameserver. This is used to activate zone in "Manage Freenom DNS" wchich is by default stated ad "Zone is not activated". 

7. Go to "Manage Freenom DNS" and enter two cnames information from step number 3 in "Add Record". If you haven't those cnames, try to add your freenome domain (for example mine is bagustris.tk) and gather cnames information. Save changes. Below are the add record form and example after I have filled it. 



After filled with information from blogger setting:

8. Back to step 3, enter your freenom domain, save it. It should be no error (previously you will have error code 12 and 13). 
9. Done! 

Now, you have full path of custom domain freely from freenom hosted at blogger blogspot. Please note, those steps assumed you already have both account for blooger and Freenom. Enjoy this free hosting and custom domain!



Now you can access this blog at: bagustris.tk with fully custom domain (not only url forwarding).
