Making DNS Nameserver Changes at GoDaddy.com

Domains purchased through GoDaddy are fully supported on InMotion Hosting servers. To get a GoDaddy domain working with us, the nameservers have to point the domain to our DNS server while making sure to add it to your cPanel if it isn’t your primary domain. It’s a quick process so let’s get started!

  1. Nice… Godaddy is the most stupid company out there.. I love inmotionhosting… So inmotion should think about adding not .com but domain for countries because thats the only reason why Im still stuck with godaddy which I hate

    1. Happy to hear that you’re having a positive experience with us, Chris! It’s mostly an issue of legality, as we don’t have any offices or employees in the relevant countries that would allow us to sell those other domains, but if it ever becomes feasible we’d like to add them to what we offer!

  2. GoDaddy requires that you enter a different IP for each of your nameservers. I only have one IP… This information is outdated.

    Please advise what to do n where to report for ??? Please help me to recover it, so that I may renew n use the same. Thanks

    1. Hello Suman – you will need to speak with GoDaddy technical support in order to get to your content. We are InMotion Hosting – a different hosting company. Apologies for the issues. You’re welcome to host your site with us and we would be happy to help you.
