    Is there anyone out there who can describe the process needed to move domains that are registered at godaddy to my dedicated server with direct admin?

    I'm really lost with the whole thing. I have two name server IP addresses on my dedi, but I don't know how to (if I have to) setup a server like ns1.domian.com

    If anyone has knowledge of this process or hass done it themselves, please let me know. Or if there is any tutorial or anything online.

    I have little knowledge of server administration, I just wanted a decicated server to host my multiple websites. I just need to get it to the point where I can upload my files, index.htm and whatnot, and have the sites work.

    Thanks in advance.

    go-daddy is so confusing (i must admit that) if you want an immediate response, try phoning their support team, they're quick and helpful!

    In your domain control panel, use the tickboxes on the left to tick all the domains you want to change.

    Then click the nameserver tab at the top, click the custom nameservers tab and enter them in the boxes.

    Confirm and wait. It shouldn't take long, I find GoDaddy very quick at changing DNS.

    Hope that answers your question :)

    do I just enter the IP addresses? I think that's all I have to work with now... maybe my issue is that I don't have name servers setup on my direct admin account. how can I do this with DirectAdmin? I have the two IPs that I want to be name servers... how do I make them into ns1.domain.com? Thanks

    You need to choose a domain to be the nameserver and point that at the two IPs in the same method I explained above.

    Then you follow my post to point them at the domain that point to the IPs.

    IPs <----- Nameserver domain <----- Domains to host on server

    I think I explained that right...
