Can’t do that with a sub-domain host. You must buy your own domain name and use it on a paid hosting site. Many hosting site offer domain names as part of their paid hosting packages.

I think you can buy a domain through blogger. First, you can register for a blog.blogspot.com, then there’s a feature in the dashboard that allows you to buy a domain through blogger and it will be hosted by blogger

I would recommend registering with JordanSoft, http://www.JordanSoft.com; it is a Wild West Domain reseller similar to GoDaddy. This reseller is cheaper than GoDaddy for most of the same products. Buying from http://www.JordanSoft.com or GoDaddy makes no difference in service, but you can compare prices to save you a few bucks.
For Domain Name registration:
.COM: $9.99/year on GoDaddy, $7.99/year on http://www.JordanSoft.com
.NET: $12.99/year on GoDaddy, $6.49/year on http://www.JordanSoft.com
.ORG: $14.99/year on GoDaddy, $7.99/year on http://www.JordanSoft.com
And you will have everything you need to get started online for free, you get the following FREE with every domain:
