GoDaddy Private Nameservers

You can register your nameservers from within your GoDaddy Account Manager. Registering your nameserver IP addresses allows you to define a name for your server based on your domain name. You can register any host name you wish in the format:host.domain.tld

For example:

ns1.example.com

If you understand what is involved and have made the necessary preparations, please follow the steps below to register your nameservers.

Setting Up Your Private Nameservers

You will need to have access to the welcome email HostGator sent you when you opened your hosting account as it has information you need to set up the private nameservers.

If you do not have the welcome email from HostGator, please contact usand we can resend the email or provide you with the IP addresses you need to use for the private nameservers.

 

  1. Go to your GoDaddy Account Manager.
  2. Log in using your account username (which may be the same as your customer number) and password.
  3. Next to Domains, click the green Launch button.

  4. Click on the domain for which you'd like to set up private nameservers.

  5. On the Settings tab, under Host Names, click Manage.

  6. Click the Add Hostname button in the popup.

  7. For Hostname, input ns1 in the box.
  8. For IP Address, enter the first private nameserver IP address provided in the welcome email.
  9. Click Add.

  10. Click the Add button in the popup.
  11. For Hostname, input ns2 in the box.
  12. For IP Address, enter the second private nameserver IP address provided in the welcome email.
  13. Click Add.
Note: It may take 24 to 48 hours for GoDaddy to register your private nameservers; however, for .com and .net domains, the time is typically 4 to 8 hours.

Once your nameservers are successfully registered, you can set all of your domain names to use the private nameservers you registered.

Keep in mind, like most nameserver changes, it will take an additional 24 to 48 hours (sometimes quicker) for this change to propagate and be usable. This delay applies to all domains with any registrar, not just GoDaddy.

  2. Enter your User ID and password in the dialogue box provided beneath the "Customer Log In" header, click "Log In".
  3. Click "Manage host Servers" at the bottom of the left navigation. If "Manage Host Servers" does not appear once you have logged in, cut and paste the following URL into your browser: https://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/manage-it/manage-nameservers.jhtml
  4. Enter the name of the host server to be created or modified into the first dialog box provided, click "Continue".
