Just purchased a godaddy server, quick question

How do i point my domain which i bought from yahoo to my new godaddy server?
When you explain it can you please explain it step by step as if you were explaining it to someone who knows nothing about the subject

Thankyou

 

any one with godaddy server knowledge and who can help me get my website back up which is a very busy website thats needs to get back up as soon as possible. I will give someone 20 dollars to help me and answer questions i have to help me get my site running again.

 

have they given you the nameserver info of your new server?

 

I went to Dns config. and created a new zone called sggdc.com which is a master account and the only domain i want on the server. Im not sure if that is how i make that my website domain or what, but once i created that, something comes up that says primary name server which is: ns1.sggdc.com.

I have no idea what i am suppose to be doing to point my yahoo domain to my godaddy server.

 

creating a name server from the server alone won't make it a valid nameserver, you also have to register the newly created nameservers at the registrar.

i really think you should really be in touch with godaddy for further info about your new server, or hire someone with knowledge in the area.

 

what is your Operating system and control panel?

if you use centos , linux or fedora with cpanel control panel
you can hire this company to manage your server

cost for that $29/month

First go to

1. http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com, login to your account and you will be redirected to "My Services" page.
2. Click on the "Domain Control Panel" on the domain you wish to point to godaddy server.
3. One your in the "Doman Control Panel" page, click on "Manage Advanced DNS Settings".
4. You will find "Name Servers" below the page, click "Change Name Server" button, you will find the first and second boxes to have a defalt nameserver, this is the field that you need to change.

###Proceed to Step 5 First #####
5. Login to your godaddy account, once you have login, on the top menu hover your mouse over "Hosting and Server" and then click "My Hosting Account" , under the Hosting Account column click the domain that you want to point. After clicking it you will find the DNS on the right side. This is the info you need to paste in your control panel at Yahoo.

6. Go back to Step 3 and paste the DNS servers and then click "Save Changes".

** Godaddy common nameservers are NS5.SECURESERVER.NET, NS6.SECURESERVER.NET , it uses the secureserver.net domain.


**Note on Step 5, you might not have setup your hosting account, press "Setup" to continue and follow the instruction agreement and enter your information or password that they may require.

Best of luck to you, btw im not a yahoo or godaddy affiliate. Just hope this tutorial will help you.

 

I forgot to mention that it takes 24-48 for the DNS propagation to complete. It might not take effect immediately in your location.

 

its a server not a shared hosting accountdoes that matter?

 

nope, even though its a dedicated box it still has an IP address. try to point to this IP address in your nameserver settings in yahoo.
