Configuring Personal Nameservers at the Registrar - Go Daddy

To setup your own personal nameserver under the Go-Daddy registrar's online interface, please follow these steps:

1. Log into your Account Manager web portal using the logins when provided when you purchased your domain.
2. Go to the My Products section and click on Domain Manager.
3. Click the hyperlink associated with the domain you want to setup the name server for (if you wanted ns1.example.net and ns2.example.net then edit example.net).
4. Go to the Host Summary section (on the bottom left side of the page) and click Add.
5. In the Host name field put the nameserver name (ex. ns1) and in the first field below put the IP address you want to use for your primary namesserver, and click OK.
6. Repeat Step 5 for ns2.

Caveat: You may have to wait some time however before their system will let you add the second record. It is unknown at this time how long the typical wait time is, but it is usually only a few minutes.

You will likely also want to set this domain to use itself as a nameserver so that the zone entries you set on your server are functional for this domain. Do that as you would normally set the master nameservers for a domain, using the records you just created (ex. ns1.example.net and ns2.example.net).
