If you are changing from Blogspot to custom domain, the easiest way to do so would be through Blogger (Google) itself!

I too have done that for my blog  http://www.magalic.com/ (It's a Blogger Blog originally hosted on Blogspot.

It costs just $10 for one year. Many people complain that you don't get much control through Blogger but it is the easiest as I am not into html. You got a Google apps account & 50 (I think) email ids. For example. I have an id- [email protected]  (you can choose anything instead of author)

I just did the switch 2 weeks ago. Process was quite smooth. If you need any more help don't hesitate to ask me here.

I'm also planning to move to a custom domain. Will I lose my pagerank if I do so?

I didn't have a PageRank myself, but I know of a few cases so yes, unfortunately you will lose your pagerank. That's why I did the switch early. But I think you can still benefit from moving to a custom domain, but you'll have to work hard to get your old pagerank. What's your pagerank, by the way?

I would recommend you to go to a custom domain as early as possible.It is better to decide whether you want a custom domain or not early,to avoid needless complications.

I moved to my custom domain when my PR was 4,and now my PR is 3.

I recommend NameCheap,but I continued my hosting on blogger.

@pankaj Rokade.....To change from blogger (*.blogspot.com) to custom domain first of all, obviously, you need to get a registered domain, then if DNS settings allowed by your Domain provider in cPanel then make or ask them to make following settings in DNS:

CNAME:       ghs.google.com ANAME Records: 216.239.32.21 216.239.34.21 216.239.36.21 216.239.38.21 

Now, log on to Blogger>Settings>Publishing>Custom Domain>Switch To Advance Settings, enter your domain name at the reuired given place and save. It's done.

@pankaj Rokade...To rigister a domain try.....www.domainz.in

Pankaj, you do not need hosting for Blogger. You only need a domain with a good control panel. 

I would recommend znetindia.com for the domain. You can later opt for the email service from gmail to use your domain name for something like [email protected]

lemme know if u need step by step help 

cheers
