Changing nameservers at GoDaddy

In this panel the option is called Nameservers.

Do this before switching

Check that the zone here already has every record — mainly MX (email) and the A of your site. While the delegation moves, whoever is authoritative at that moment answers; a missing record means an address that stops working. If the domain has DNSSEC at the registrar, remove the DS record first and wait for the TTL.

Your nameservers

  • ns1.qflaryx.com
  • ns2.qflaryx.com

These are the defaults for new zones. Confirm the pair assigned to your zone on its page in the panel.

Step by step

  1. 1 Open “My Products” and find the domain.
  2. 2 Click “DNS” or “Manage DNS”.
  3. 3 In the nameservers section, choose to use custom nameservers.
  4. 4 Enter the two Quathos Monitor servers and confirm.

Watch out

GoDaddy usually warns that you will lose the records hosted there — that is expected: they now live in Quathos Monitor. Make sure the zone here already has everything.

After saving

Quathos Monitor checks the delegation on its own and marks the zone as active as soon as your registrar publishes the change — usually minutes, up to 48 hours in the worst case. You do not need to do anything else.

Panels change without notice. If a screen no longer matches, look for “nameservers” or “DNS servers” in the domain settings — the idea is the same everywhere.
