title: Using a godaddy domain with a private VPS
body: <p>I have a website hosted running on a <code>VPS</code>. I can access the site via the browser with an IP address. I want to be able to access it using the domain name i have with <code>GoDaddy</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So far I have added a host name in <code>GoDaddy</code>.<code>NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM = IP address</code>. I did this yesterday and when I look up the name-servers for my domain on who is the new host-name I made in <code>GoDaddy</code> is showing up as the first name-server for the domain but its pointing to the ip of the old host.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>VPS</code> is hosted with <code>OVH</code>. A tutorial on the site says to enter the first name-server based on my account number E.G. <code>nsXXXX.ovh.fr</code>. I tried this but <code>GoDaddy</code> returns an error saying "You must enter a registered name-server".</p>
  
  <p><code>GoDaddy</code> wont let me edit anything in the <code>DNS</code> zone file tab because it says the name-servers aren't pointing at it.</p>
