The overall process include following steps:

2. Create a domain in www.blogger.com.
Now go to the blogger.com, if you already have google account (One account. All of google, ya that's their motto.) no need to signup otherwise you have to create a google account. Once register create a blog from blogger dashboard.


Click on "New Blog" to create a blog


Now go to settings page of newly created blog.


Click on "Add custom domain" to point your "googlecustomblog.blogspot.com" to www.customdomain.com. Google will suggest you to create two CNAMEs entry on your domain registrar's

3. Create A-record and CNAME entry in ohodomain.com. Log on to ohodomain.com and search for domain you have created.

C-NAMEs
Enter your domain name in the format customdomain.com, and list the I.P. addresses shown below in the "A" section. You'll need to create four separate A-records which point to four different Google IPs.
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21

A-Record

One last steps go to blogger setting page again and redirect customdomain.com to www.customdomain.com otherwise visitors who leave off the "www" will see an error page.


That's it you have done, obviously it took some times or may be 1-2 days to complete the whole process.
