However in our imperfect world, our techs often receive questions about how to register custom DNS nameservers for GoDaddy domains. (To register custom DNS nameservers for your HostDime domain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/resources\/create-custom-nameservers-hostdime\/\">follow this tutorial<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>For resellers, it looks much more professional to run your own custom nameservers. If your domain is \u201cdomain.com\u201d, your custom nameservers would be \u201cns1.domain.com\u201d and \u201cns2.domain.com\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Follow these instructions to create nameservers for your domain name.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Registering Nameservers for Your GoDaddy Domain<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Log in to your GoDaddy Account Manager. Next to the Domains area, click \u201cLaunch\u201d. Choose the domain name you would like to use to register the custom DNS nameservers. Head to the \u201cHost Summary\u201d section and click \u201cAdd\u201d.  Enter the hostname you want to register in the \u201cHost Name\u201d field. If your domain is \u201cdomain.com\u201d and you want ns1.domain.com as your nameserver, enter \u201cns1\u201d into \u201cHost Name\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>The next field is labeled \u201cHost IP\u201d. GoDaddy won&#8217;t let you register nameservers with a single IP so you must have two different IPs. In the two \u201cHost IP\u201d fields, enter those two namerserver IPs. If you are not sure what these are, contact your host. Once you are done, contact your host anyways to ensure that the \u201cns1\u201d and \u201cns2\u201d DNS Zone A Record entries were properly created on your host server. <\/p>\n<p>It takes a few hours for the nameservers to take effect and propagate. .COM and .NET domains will take about 4-8 hours, while other TLD&#8217;s could time up to two days.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have created your custom DNS nameserver, you are now ready to set your DNS nameserver for your domain.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<h2>Setting Nameservers for Your GoDaddy Domain<\/h2>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you are using the nameservers that your host has provided or if you&#8217;ve already created your custom DNS nameservers, follow these simple steps. <\/p>\n<p>Log in to your GoDaddy Account Manager. Next to the Domains area, click \u201cLaunch\u201d. Select the domain(s) you would like to set the nameservers for. Choose \u201cSet Nameservers\u201d. Check off \u201cI have specific nameservers for my domains\u201d, which indicates that you&#8217;re domain is not hosted on GoDaddy servers and that you&#8217;re entering the DNS nameserver of the remote server.<\/p>\n<p>As previously stated, you will need at least 2 nameservers and each nameserver needs it&#8217;s own IP. Allow up to two days for the domain to propagate to the new server.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/support\/contact-us\/\">contact us 24\/7\/365<\/a> if you have any questions. <\/p>\n<p>If you are not yet a HostDime client, ask yourself <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostdime.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/10-reasons-hostdime-is-the-right-web-host-for-you\/\">WHY NOT<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>[divider]<\/p>\n<p>HostDime.com is one of the top 50 web hosts in the world.
