I'm preparing a client for migrating his Blogger blog to a self-hosting WordPress site. The client is currently running his Blogger blog using a custom domain name which he registered through Blogger. Now that he wants to move to a self-hosted wordpress.org site, how can we transfer ownership of his domain name from Blogger to another registrar? Or, is this even necessary? I mean, can you set your Blogger domains' nameservers just like you can with any other domain registrar?

Yes Google application only helps you to manage your domain, they will even make you understand that Google does not register a domain themselves. They work with either eNom or GoDaddy.

Blogger is not a registrar. When your client signed up, he or she should have received an e-mail from Google Apps detailing whether the domain was registered through eNom or GoDaddy (the registrar partners used for domain registrations).

If your client does not have his or her domain purchase confirmation e-mail, the DNS settings may be completed by observing the following process:


Log in to Google Apps using Blogger domain name, username, and password
Go to Domain Settings > Domain Names > Advanced DNS Settings to find the eNom/GoDaddy account information for the domain
Log in at eNom or GoDaddy to complete any desired changes


Not tested: Instructions culled from Blogger Help and The Blog Doctor (oddly enough, this process does not appear to be described in detail at the Blogger Help site).
