Hi everyone!

I've registered daminion-software.de by Godaddy. Unfortunately each time when I try to change the namespaces within the Godaddy Domain manager I receive the error message:



Nameservers for .de domains have specific requirements and checking Linode nameservers by the below service was failed:
http://www.denic.de/en/background/nast.html

I receive the error messages for ns1.linode.com and ns2.linode.com


Godaddy representative suggest me to contact Linode since Linode created the nameservers they need to ensure they are configured properly for .de domains.


While Linode support suggested me to contact to Godaddy:


Does anyone experienced the same issue with setting Linode nameservers on Godaddy for .de domains? How did you solve it?

Thanks in advance!

Use a better registrar - GoDaddy sucks.

Unfortunately domain transfer is locked up by Godaddy - up to the middle of the August but I need to launch our web-site urgently.

Nevermind, this time I've definitely got it up to par with my signature. Sorry.

Doesn't GoDaddy offer DNS service for the domains registered with them?

You don't HAVE TO move your DNS control over to Linode, just setup your DNS records under GoDaddy.

//just curious - why are your domains locked until mid-August? - I didn't know that any domain registrars, even Godaddy, would hold your domains hostage as long as you're currently paid up//

Last I heard (not using GoDaddy myself), whenever you purchase or renew at godaddy, you have a checkbox in lines of "lock from transfer for next three months for extra security".
The checkbox is of course completely voluntary... in the sense that if you don't check it, you can't continue with the purchase. But you did ask for the lock, out of your own will, right?

The error message seems to indicate that ns1 and ns2 are not reachable; you could try using ns3, ns4, and ns5 instead. On the chance that the error message is wrong, this thread notes that .de requires certain values for TTL, refresh, retry, and expire times.

I had no trouble setting the Linode name servers for sturmkrieg.de, which is registered with GoDaddy. I've found them to be good for domain registration, but terrible for webhosting.

Address one: 2600:3c03:0:0:0:0:0:a
Address two: 2a01:7e00:0:0:0:0:0:a

These addresses really do work, I just tested them. The last :53 is the port.

Check that you were not giving the address plus the :53 to godaddy because that won't work.


Also - as other people have said - I'd not have too much trust in godaddy.
