GoDaddy Nameservers
To host a domain with GoDaddy, set these as the domain's nameservers at your registrar. GoDaddy assigns nameservers per account; the pair below is an example of the format, and your exact pair is in the welcome email or control panel:
| Nameserver | IPv4 | Answered from network |
|---|---|---|
| ns01.domaincontrol.com | 97.74.100.1 | AS44273 Host Europe GmbH |
| ns02.domaincontrol.com | 173.201.68.1 | AS44273 Host Europe GmbH |
- Log in to the registrar where you bought the domain and open its DNS or nameserver settings.
- Choose custom nameservers and replace the current ones with the GoDaddy nameservers above.
- Save, then wait: nameserver changes take up to 24–48 hours to spread. Follow it live with the DNS propagation checker or the NS lookup.
