It is important to use custom domain name for BlogSpot blogs and anyone who is on free blogging platform like BlogSpot.com or WordPress.com. I personally recommend to use a custom domain name instead of free domain name.
Difference Between Free Domain Name Vs. Custom Domain Name ?
When you create a blog on BlogSpot.com, your domain name will look something like (example.blogspot.com) which is called as a free domain name.
Other side the custom domain name look something like example.com. You can take example like neilpatel.com which is a custom domain name.
You definitely get so much benefits of using a custom name for your BlogSpot blog instead of free .blogspot.com extention.
Setting up the custom domain feature in BlogSpot is a bit of technical part, but you don't need to worry about it.
This complete step by step guide for non-technical people will teach you how to add a BlogSpot custom domain to your blogger blog.
