I currently run my main website on Host #1 and have a reseller cPanel/WHM account with Host #2. I would like to keep my main website on Host #1 so that if a server problem arrises on Host #2 then my clients and I can still access the billing system, etc. When I registered the reseller account I used mydomain.com as the domain because they told me they coulnd't register the account with server1.mydomain.com. I have ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com pointing to Host #2's DNS servers. I was successfully able to get my domains at several registrars pointing and working correctly, however, when I try to set the DNS of a domain at GoDaddy I get a error that says "Nameservers not registered". Any ideas why?


Extra Info:
The nameservers for mydomain.com are the nameservers for Host #1

I have ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com pointing to Host #2's DNS servers.
You mean you created A records for them, using the IP addresses of host #2's DNS servers? That's half of what you need to do. The error you're getting "Nameservers not registered" suggests that you haven't done the other half: registering these nameservers at the registrar for mydomain.com (GoDaddy, presumably). Both these steps are necessary, wherever they're hosted.

What do you mean by registering the nameservers at the registrar?

I have created the A record for them using the IP addresses of Host #2's DNS servers. And I did put my nameservers in WHM under the DNS Zones.

Try Googling "register nameserver at [your registrar]"

The option is in control panel to manage your domain.
If you're not sure how to register nameservers, the best way is search knowledgebase on your domain provider website or open a support ticket.

I have created the A record for them using the IP addresses of Host #2's DNS servers.

I believe you have a slight mistake here, it shouldn't be A record, rather it should be NS record.

Not so. A records (and registering the nameservers at the registrar) are exactly what he needs, because:
