    for this to happen, you need to host your own name servers

    for this on shared hosting you need buy Dedicated IP, otherwise it will not possible. but still you can give a Try by following this step.

    Open CMD and type
    ping www.yourdomain.com
    Code (markup):
    now you can see the IP of the server on which your website is hosted. note down that IP and go to your domain Registrar if you are using Godaddy then in Domain Manager check for Host Summary at the bottom next to the Host Summary their is a Add link and now register the desired name servers and in the Host IP add your servers IP , Minimum create 2 NameServers.

    Now Lets Start Part 2 :
    Once you have created those NameServers , login to your cPanel of WebHosting and go to DNS Manager and Create "A" Entries for the NameServers just created.


    if you are unable to understand of need help contact me.

    It depends on your host. We provide nameserver masks that allows resellers to use their own name-server names but which are actually using our DNS servers. So, their nameservers would be:

    dns1.<resellerdomain> our dns1 IP address
    dns2.<resellerdomain> our dns2 IP address
    etc etc

    Any user sites that are added under that reseller account, and are using the resellers DNS servers, are provided with the resellers nameserver names so it looks like the reseller has their own DNS servers.

    The reseller doesn't have to run their own DNS servers or need any dedicated IPs for them. The fact that they are using our DNS servers is hidden (masked) from the end user.

    Not sure if that is clear, but if it is possible for your host to arrange this - if they can or if they will.

    Thanks for this great info, I heard that when you change your name servers, it will take 24-48 hours to propagate changes throughout the world... Is this true?

    I checked the name servers on ( tools.digitalpoint.com/whois.php ) and they are ok, (ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com)

    Im wondering if my site would be still online after 24-48 hours...

    You can't host domain names on your proper servers unless you ask ICann and pay monthly fees...
