    You log inside your Go Daddy account and look for the option to create your
    nameservers. As in you literally look for that option, then type in ns1 and ns2
    or whatever you want and include their respective IP addresses.

    Go Daddy's site should have an FAQ on it.

    I found this,

    To Register Your Own Hosts

    1. Log in to your Account Manager.
    2. In the My Products section, click Domains.
    3. Click the domain for which you want to create a host.
    4. In the Host Summary section, click the add hyperlink in the header.
    5. In the Host name field, enter the host name you want to register.

    NOTE: Do not enter "www" as part of your host name.
    6. In the Host IP fields, enter the IP address(es) you want to add to the host.
    7. Click OK.

    It takes 4 to 8 hours to register hosts for .COM and .NET domains and 24 to 48 hours for all other domain extensions.

    But I don't have a host summary...It is a .ws domain does that make a difference?
