Create Glue Records at GoDaddy | Register Nameserver
By Jithin on March 16th, 2016
In this tutorial we can check how to create Glue Records at GoDaddy to register your private nameservers / vanity nameservers at GoDaddy. If you are not sure about Glue records, in simple words – Glue records will tell ISP’s to where to find the nameservers and will point them to right direction.
- Login to GoDaddy Domain Manager
2) Here you can see the list of Domains you own at GoDaddy.
3) Choose the domain that you wish to change the nameservers for and click the gear icon on the right. Then choose “Manage DNS”
4) Now to go “Settings” then “manage” under “Host Names” section.
5) Now click on “ADD HOSTNAME”.
6) Provide the Nameserver name and IP address then click “Add” then “Save” to create Glue Record.
That is how we can crate Glue Records at GoDaddy.

Easy, straight forward guide.
However, Godaddy have, once again, changed their Customer back-end, and with this new version, they’ve removed the ability to “glue” an IP to a hostname.
Spoke with tech, and he said they’ve discontinued their ‘vanity’ service, which is the custom hostname option. Why would they do that, it makes no sense. Now what do I do???
Really need to add IP’s to 2 hostname records but can’t…
same issue here, how did you fix
It is still working when I tried delegation with MS Azure DNS Zone.
This is what I did:
– Create Azure DNS zone – subdomain.yrgodaddydom.com, you will get 4x Azure DNS name servers like ns1-01.azure-dns.com, ns2-01.azure-dns.net, etc.
– Create 4x NS record “subdomain” (without yrgodaddydom.com) and pointing to the 4 Azure DNS nameservers – ns1-01.azure-dns.com, ns2-01.azure-dns.net, etc.
– Create 4x A record – the glue record – “subdomain” (without yrgodaddydom.com) and pointing to the 4 IP addresses of the Azure DNS nameservers.
– Then create your DNS records like www or any in the Azure DNS zone.
Wait sometime, in my case 10-15 minutes, then you can use the DNS name www[.]subdomain[.]yrgodaddydom.com.
Please try.
