This tutorial uses GoDaddy and BlueHost as examples for domain registration and web hosting respectively. In order to change your DNS or the Domain Name System entry, this tutorial assumes the following two things:

1. You have a domain. If you haven’t acquired a domain name then see the tutorial on How To Register A Domain Name Via GoDaddy.
2. You have bought hosting. If you haven’t bought hosting then see the tutorial on Buying Hosting From BlueHost.

Let’s move on:

1. Login to your GoDaddy account and click on “Domains” followed by the option “My Domains” (highlighted in red).
   
   
2. Check the domain that you want to change the DNS for and click the “Manage Nameservers” icon (highlighted in blue).
   
   
3. Choose “Custom Nameservers” and enter the following primary and secondary DNS values for BlueHost are NS1.BLUEHOST and NS2.BLUEHOST.COM. Thereafter, press the “OK” button. For other hosting providers, they’ll also provide a similar primary and secondary DNS values.
   
   

That’s it and now you are ready to add on a domain and install WordPress. Details of installing WordPress via Fantastico and Simple Scripts coming up in next tutorial.
