How To Modify DNS Servers for Sites Registered at GoDaddy.com
October 1st, 2007
A friend of mine needed to change the DNS servers for his site. Once he got to GoDaddy, he was totally confused on what steps to take next. To be honest, the interface could be a little more intuitive. Here’s what you need to do:
- Go to GoDaddy.com and login to your account.
- Go to the green horizontal toolbar, mouseover Domains and select My Domain Names.

- Select the checkbox next to the domain that you wish to change.

- Go to the toolbar and click the now unghosted Nameservers button.

- Input the new primary and secondary DNS server names in the first two textboxes.

- Click OK.
The request is then submitted. It may take up to 3 days for you to see the changes though, this is due to the time it takes for the change to filter through to other DNS servers on the internet.

I agree with you about godaddy not being intuitive. I get momentarily lost there every time I have to go do anything with my domain names. Thanks for this guide.
