A little about:
We all know that blogger is a free weblog tool by Google. Creating & using a blog on blogger is completely free of charge. But when you create a new blog on blogger you found the blog URL with a sub domain. eg. yourblog.blogspot.comBlogspot.com is mandatory for blogger users. Your blog must come with blogspot.com at the end of your blog URL. That looks pretty unprofessional, so if you are serious about blogging and want to remove the sub domain (blogspot.com) from the end of your blog address and want to migrate your address to a desired one with TLD (Top Level Domain).
Then blogger has a options for doing so. But you have to buy a top level custom domain like .net/.com/.info and its not free in the market. You have to count almost 15$ per year for your custom domain.
There are many domain registrar company in the world. But you have to be clever to find out the best one. GoDaddy.com is the world�s largest domain registrar company. Another best one in the world is called Namecheap.
I bought my first domain from namecheap and found the service is really good. Then I�ve got experience with godaddy.com & register.com . And I can say godaddy is also good for domain but I can promise you namecheap will be your best choice.
