     Recently I have shared a post related to   Advantage of having custom domain name for your  blog. As you know, Most of us newbie blogger start their blogging career with the free blogger blog which can be hosted by Google. But when you create your blogwith blogger, your blog URL looks like domain.blogspot.com or domain.blogspot.in which is sub-domain. But I suggest to you that you should remove “.blogspot.in” or “.blogspot.com” from your URL of a blogger blog. For this you have to spend some money to buy your own wishes domain name from any domain provider companies. You can buy your domain name from Godaddy.com or BigRock.com. But I am using BigRock domain, so I suggest you to buy domain from BigRock. Bigrock is trusted network. If you are going to buy domain name form BigRock.com, I think that you should our DISCOUNT COUPON CODE to get maximum discount.
