How to Change The Free Blogspot Blog Address from Blogger Settings?

Published by: Alex George
Do you think the free Blogspot name you chose for your blog is boring? Or do you think you have a better name for your Blogger blog?

Do not worry. You can change the current Blogspot subdomain name with the one you prefer.

Blogger allows the users to change the current blog address with a different available name.

So if you have a Blogspot blog with a Blogspot subdomain and have an address not much related to the topics you write, you can change it from the blogger dashboard.


Does Blogger Restrict the Blogspot URL Change?


There is no restriction from the Blogger about the number of times you can change the URL of your blog.

So if you think the current URL is not easily recognizable or does not tell the niche of your writing, you have the complete freedom to change it.

This facility depends on the availability of blog URLs. It means you cannot ask for an unavailable Blogspot subdomain.

Blogspot serves first comes basis, and you should register the one you want sooner.


Steps to Change Blogger Blog Address


Let us check how to change the current free Blogger name with another free Blogspot subdomain.

  1. Log into your Blogger account.

  2. Click on Settings.



  3. You can see the current free Blogspot subdomain name of your blog under Publishing.

  4. Delete the current subdomain address.



    Now type the new subdomain and click Save.


Now let us come to another scenario. You want to alter the site's sub-domain name not with another Blogspot sub-domain but with a proper custom domain.

You can use your custom domain name by redirecting the current Blogspot site address to the new domain.

Points to Remember While Changing the Blogspot URL


Let me explain a few facts to remember while changing the URL of a blogger site. First of all, you must understand the effects of changing the address.

After changing the URL, the old address will not show your blog. So any bookmarks linking to the current URL will get a message blog doesn't exist.

Similarly, your readers will not be able to reach it using the old address. The same goes for the feed subscribers too.





So if you own a popular blog, I cannot recommend you change its Blogspot address (unless you go for a custom domain name).

Inform your readers about the URL change soon before the procedure. Otherwise, they will never find your blog again.
