×Hi there @epikouros,
You don’t need the IP addresses for those. In your GoDaddy control panel, you’ll just want to update the nameservers for your domain to point to the DigitalOcean NS subdomains:
We have a great tutorial that covers this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars#registrar-godaddy
Hope that helps!

Hi Matt, thanks for getting back to me. In the past, it used to be as you say, now it’s mandatory to include the IP address when switching NS records from their standard ones to another. The tutorial shows the old way godaddy did DNS.
Hm. That seems really odd. I can’t find anything about this even in their own help articles. Could you share a screenshot of the error you’re seeing that’s asking for IP addresses instead of a subdomain?
I don’t have anything online, I can upload a screenshot but I don’t see an upload button on the reply window. How do I upload to DO? I’m new BTW :) :)
Hey, sorry for the late reply.
You can upload images to a site like imgur.com and then share the link here :)
