How to Attach GoDaddy to Apache2

GoDaddy is the biggest ICANN (domain) registrar in the world.

GoDaddy is a domain registrar and Web hosting company. Apache2 is a version of the Apache HTTP server. Attaching a GoDaddy registered domain to an Apache2 server can be done by changing the name servers in the domain management panel of the account menu in GoDaddy. The name servers are the address to the Apache2 server. The domain registered with GoDaddy will connect to the name servers of the Apache2 server. It takes approximately 30 minutes for the changes to take effect.

2. Click "My Products."

3. Click "Domain Manager."

4. Click the domain that will be attached to the Appache2 server.

5. Click "Nameservers," then click "Set Nameservers."

6. Select "I have specific nameservers for my domains." A window to enter new name servers will appear.

7. Copy the name servers for the Apache2 server into GoDaddy's name server window.

8. Click "OK." GoDaddy will now propagate the name servers. The domain registered with GoDaddy will now be attached to the Apache2 server.
