How to add custom Bind DNS nameserver to use with
Godaddy
Ever wondered how you can set your custom
BIND or
djbdns nameserver to be ready to add to as a Custom
DNS server in Godaddy?
I've recently had that issue and after some try/fails and a bit of
reading online I've come up with it.
Here is how I added my custom host running already a configured
primary master Bind server to godaddy.
1. Login with your account to Godaddy
Click on the
Domains link after logging in.
2. Click on your domain name
Here choose
Manage Domains
Now scroll down to the end of the page under the left bottom corner
of the page you will see the:
Host Summary (add) button
3. A new popup window will emerge
Therein you will have to fill in as a minimum:
Host Name:
Host IP1:
Besides that it might be a good idea to also fill IP2, IP3 if your
nameserver machine possesses, more than one IP addresses.
As you can see you can fill up to 13 IP addresses to be assigned to
the domain.
Here it's important to note that actually the
Host Name: you
fill in is a new subdomain that will get created under your mail
domain name choosen under step 2 explained above.
As far as you've finished click the OK button. You will have to
wait for up to 12 hours until the new subdomain is set as a
subdomain for a new custom DNS server with Godaddy.
If you don't do that probably you won't be able to set your
subdomain
(ns1.yourdomain.com) under the
Set
Nameserver from Godaddy's Total DNS.
