: Is it important to point the domain to server IP to get them linked? I am trying to link my domain registerd from exabytes.com.my and I want to link it with my server in GoDaddy. exabytes.com.my

@Ann8826881

exabytes.com.my allowed me to modify nameservers only


That is exactly what you need to do. And that is the only thing you need to do.

To find out what NAMESERVERS you need to specify at your registrar, check your account at GoDaddy.

Reference (possibly UK specific?): uk.godaddy.com/help/find-your-nameservers-for-domains-registered-at-other-companies-12318

I added my domain and put the same nameservers in GoDaddy server and its still unlinked!


When you create your account at GoDaddy you will be prompted to enter your domain. You should not change any NAMESERVERS at GoDaddy (your host).

The NAMESERVERS are where your master DNS records are stored.

Note that changing NAMESERVERS can take up to 48 hours. As this change needs to be propagated around the internet.


what if someone else just added my domain name and put nameservers that they can check from any DNS checker , will that be linked?


It's technically possible that "someone else" created an account on the same server for the same domain at GoDaddy before you did. But this is very unlikely.

What you'll need to add an external webhost (GoDaddy) to your new domain name (at Exabytes) is an 'A Record'.

A Cname record points to another name. If you want your new domain to point to your other domain - just add a Cname record that translates one to another.
