The first step will be creating what everyone except for GoDaddy calls a glue record or a custom name server record.
I don’t have a GoDaddy account, so I can’t explain how to actually accomplish this step-by-step in their interface. You might do better to actually call them on the phone and explain to them that you need a custom name server record and don’t hang up until they have completed the task for you.
The URLs for the record are the ones recommended by the MiaB install which will be in the dashboard where it states these records are not set. This example does not use your actual domain, but this is an example if you configured MiaB using example.com
then MiaB will automatically recommend using box.example.com
as the server hostname
(note: this specific hostname
is to do with your server and not anything in the GoDaddy interface, where they incorrectly and confusingly use the phrase ‘host name’) and then MiaB will recommend the glue record domains to be:
ns1.box.example.com
ns2.box.example.com
GoDaddy needs to create a nameserver
record that points to the IP address of your MiaB from the URLs above.
Then the WHOIS record will change from this:
$ whois example.com
Domain Name: EXAMPLE.COM
