how to create a blogger subdomain using Namecheap

Setting up a custom domain name in blogger using Namecheap is easy. They provided a detailed instruction in here in their website: See link Namecheap. 

However, I couldn't find how to create a subdomain.  I did some more research and finally was able to find how. Here's a simple guide how to create a blogger subdomain using your custom domain name in Namecheap:

blogging is also a profession

A subdomain by the way is like having a secondary website with totally new contents without having to buy another custom domain name but rather using an extension name to an existing custom domain name. To simplify:

Custom domain name: www.lifeatimg.com

and I want to create a totally different website (subdomain) for a sign-up page yet I want to maximize my existing custom domain name. I call this subdomain as join.

Therefore my subdomain name would be: join.lifeatimg.com.

other examples would be: info.yourdomainname.com or blog.yourdomainname.com

Here are the steps to create subdomain name:

1. Log in to your Namecheap account: Go to your dashboard then click on domain list.

Namecheap dashboard > Domain list

2. Upon domain list, you will see a list of your custom domain names, choose the domain name you want to create a subdomain then click manage. For this example: let's manage lifeatimg.com

choose the custom domain name you want to create a subdomain > manage

3. Then choose Advanced DNS, then click Add New Record

4. Choose CNAME Record, then input your desired subdomain name in the Host (for this example: join) and then input ghs.google.com for Value. Leave Automatic for TTL. Then save all changes.

5. Now go to your blogger profile: go to settings, then basic, then click on "+ setup a 3rd party URL for your blog."

blogger > settings > basic > publishing > setup 3rd party url

6. Key in your new subdomain name as shown below: join.lifeatimg.com, click save and youre good to go!
