The real answer depends on what registry your domain is registered in. The collection of words loosely resembling sentences that you quoted I think are trying to illustrate: - you need a registered host object for the nameserver in the registry your domain lives in - until that host object exists, the registry won't accept the change of nameservers - the host object is controlled by the superordinate domain object if one exists There are others here more qualified to comment on the specifics of the host/domain object dependency mess, but you'll need to be more specific about the domain name and nameserver you're talking about before you get real answers. Anyway, regardless, I think it's likely that this is a registry restriction, not a godaddy restriction, and that front-line support staff don't always explain things as thoroughly as they might (film at 11).
