Recently i had just joined one of the leading online marketing company for the purpose of Summer Internship Project training(SIP). As company doesn’t having there own blog for their company i started blog for them that is pin on sub-domain.
After a day i had find that this subdomain is working perfectly i had decided to share it with your all. you just need to insert two CNames in your control panel of domain and also need to modify address of your blog in your blogger dashboard.
How To Create subdomain on blogspot?
before proceeding we have to understand basic difference between main domain and subdomain. we all are aware about main domain that is denoted as www.xyz.com, www.abc.com etc, while subdomain is a part of main domain only it is look like blog.xyx.com, contact.abc.com and so on.

Hello. I have set up my Blogger blog on a subdomain. The subdomain works correclty (blog.xyz.com), and Blogger correctly redirects the naked domain (xyz.com) to the subdomain as I have selected to do in Blogger.
The problem I am having is the issue of redirecting the www domain (www.xyz.com) to the subdomain. Having a www Cname as “@” gives a Google error. I tried deleting the www CNAME and setting subdomain forwarding to forward www to blog.xyz.com, but this did not work either (not found error from ISP). Is there a way to do this you are aware of?
I found a solution to this. Although my domain host (GoDaddy) allowed me to add www as a subdomain to forward from, www would not show up in my DNS zone file, in contrast to other subdomains I tested.
So I tried deleting the “@” host pointing to Google’s IP addresses, (re)adding a www Cname pointing to “@”, and setting up “domain forwarding” to blog.xyz.com. This worked. I also unselected “Redirect xyz.com to blog.xyz.com” in Blogger but this may not have been necessary.
Hi Umesh, thank you for posting this helpful article. In my case, I have two Blogger accounts and therefore, two subdomains with Blogger – blog. and index. (my root domain is hosted on Shopify). I tried your steps, and the first subdomain worked. But when I tried the second, Blogger gave me the same “Name, Label, or Host field” (so using your example, Blogger gave me the code – “lkhdkqye5haw” for both subdomains). When I tried to enter the same code again in my domain settings, it wouldn’t allow me to save since it was a duplicated line. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks!

Hi druk,
See you can not create the same sub-domain which is already exist.
First of all you have to delete existing sub domain and than try to add both records.

Hi jayesh,
Glad to see you here on this blog. recently i had published the tutorial for the same, you can refer it. As far as redirect concern you can set it by your cpannel. another alternatives is you can use hearder redirect also in-case you won’t find any provisions in your cpannel
thanks a lot lakshya. keep visiting this blog
Ok, I did all of these steps before seeking help to my problem. Following your tips the result is this:
when I type in my subdomain healthybeauty.ursualexandra.com appears a notification from blogger to redirect the user but says that the blog isnt hosted by blogger but I dont understand why , because if I take out the redirect from blogger it works. i mean if I type my sub domain it will redirect to my blog, but the adress on the top is from the blog, not the subdomain. Ahh, I dont think I make any sense, but I will leave it with the error so if you check, you can see.
Subdomain – healthybeauty.ursualexandra.com
Blog – bornedbeauty.blogspot.com (I dont even like the name, I needed something to work so I could redirect the subdomain, hoping this will never see the light of day :)) )
Sorry if you didnt understand my message but there s really no better way to explain it. i m not that good at it stuff, although when I did this to my domain it totally worked. i dont know where the problem is. And yes, it has been 3 days since I made the changes so it can t be the fact that I have to wait up to 48 hours. Thank you in advance.
Please help. 😀
