Godaddy.com How to Register Own Nameservers / Hosts

It's hard to find out ...but if you intend to set up your own Domain Name Server (DNS) service, you can register your own hosts using these instructions. You can enter up to 13 hosts, depending on the maximum number of hosts the top-level domain name (TLD) registry allows.

o Register Your Own Domain Hosts

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
3. Click the domain name you want to use to register as your own nameserver.
4. In the Host Summary section, click add.
5. In Host name, enter the host name you want to register.
   NOTE: The value entered here will be appended to your domain name to create the host name. Do not use the 'www' prefix. Example: For the domain name coolexample.com, entering 'ns1' here results in ns1.coolexample.com.
6. In the Host IP fields, enter the IP address(es) you want to add to the host.
   NOTE: If your server has only one IP address, you can use the same IP address for multiple hosts except where forbidden by the domain name's registry.
7. Click OK.

It takes 4 to 8 hours to register hosts for .COM and .NET domain names and 24 to 48 hours for all other domain name extensions.
