How can I configure a domain registered at GoDaddy to use Slicehost's name servers?

  • 772

I have a site hosted on a Slicehost VPS (diablocomics.com). The domain is registered with GoDaddy. I'd like to use Slicehost's DNS servers...

ns1.slicehost.net
ns2.slicehost.net
ns3.slicehost.net

I'm pretty sure I have the config on the Slicehost side OK, but I'm less confident of the GoDaddy side.

This was my attempt...

Although I entered "diablocomics.com" the resulting record is "@". Maybe that's correct.

There's no way to remove those records that say "informational". Does it matter?

And do I need to add records to cover both "diablocomics.com" and "www.diablocomics.com"?

  1. OK, I figured it out. I went one screen too far. On GoDaddy on the main page for the domain, click the "select nameservers" link under the Nameservers heading.

    I went into the "DNS manager" which is only relevant if you're using GoDaddy's DNS servers.
