What is the point though, of using "private nameservers" instead of the ones your host gives you?. I don't get it, I mean other than looking "cool" to some idiot checking them. Anyone who wants to see where you're hosted will still find that information easily without looking at what your nameserver is.
Seriously now - GoDaddy even has a configuration mode where it'll let you edit your NS records directly. And they'll do DNS for as many subdomains/etc as you like, set your ttl's, whatever you want.Marked as lame.
Are you sure that's the way it worked?I don't know the technical jargain involved...but I know if you inquire about purchasing a domain, the registar must inquire with some centralized server to determine if the domain is available and "lock" it while you checkout from the registar. When this happens ALL registars (whether in good faith or bad faith) are notified of your inquiry to purchase the domain. If you do not purchase the domain for any reason, registars in bad faith may buy the domain or add the domain name to the add/drop scheme for ad revenue.I've found GoDaddy and Bob Parsons to run a business with good faith. I can't see the #1 registar getting away with what you describe.You can read www.bobparsons.com for more info on the add/drop scheme aka, domain kiting.
The link is down. I guess Diggers have overloaded the server. It looks like the comments make this sound like basic info that could be found at the Godaddy site. I was hoping for some super secret info. cheers!
Thanks man for your online tutorial! When I had my first domain with GoDaddy, I needed it. However, I contacted this company by phone and pointed domain to nameservers required successfully!

well im kinda going with the crowd here. If you're using godaddy you have next to no reason to be setting up your own stuff.

Because he didn't contrubute any data to the conversation, only state a quick opinion that people don't care about.
