Trouble with GoDaddy
I think I'm having a little trouble with GoDaddy. I asked my host to set me up as a virtual nameserver for my reseller account, so that my clients would see my host name on a whois and not my actual hosting company. I'm not sure if they had or did anything but they gave me two IP address numbers and told me all I had to do is put those numbers in as nameserver 1 and nameserver 2 of the domain I wanted 'virtualized'. I went to GoDaddy to do this but it just won't let me. It says that I have to use a legit registered nameserver - I assume they mean a domain name and not an IP address but I really don't fully understand my own problem. I wrote to their tech support and learned the meaning of pointless waste of my time. So did I do something wrong? How do I get my IP addresses in as the nameservers for my domain at GoDaddy?

Not sure how goddady operates as I've never used them but with eNom there is an option to create name servers from your domain so ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com
You simply select the domain and assign the IP addresses...

Somebody told me that the area I was trying to enter the IP into was not where it should go. They pointed me in the right direction. Thanks anyway.

I had that problem with another place, forget where. I went to enter the IP's instead of the names, and it told me I had to enter the name instead of the IP.
I figured IP would be better in case a nameserver went down...
