This is simple howto step on using domain name bought thru namecheap.com for your blogger custom domain.

1. I assume you already bought one domain name and have a namecheap.com account. Just login to namecheap.com and you will be directed to your account dashboard.
2. 
   
   See a box on the left and fill in your domain name. Click “Modify>>”.
3. You’re now here
   
   
4. 
   
   Find this box and choose “All Host records”.
5. Then, under “IP Address/URL” section, just enter ‘ghs.google.com’ (without quote) beside the ‘www’ sign, and your domain name in ‘http://www.yourdomainname.any’ beside the ‘@’ symbol. See below screenshot and save it.
6. Go to your Blogger account. Under Setting >> Publishing >> Custom Domain, choose ‘Advance Setting’ and fill in your new domain name correctly.
7. 
   
   

   Tick redirect yourdomainname.any to www.yourdomainname.any. Don’t forget to Save it.

Try to load your new domain now.

Please note, in some case, need at least an hour or even a day to make your dns setting being recognize and active. Me myself need a day to make it active.

Suggest you to crate a new fake blog to test your domain name opened correctly and once its load successfully, switch it back to blogger host and use the domain name for your preferred blog address.
