How to know which nameserver should I use?

Question

I have a domain like this: mydomain.org.co and I want it to point to a virtual server I acquired with Godaddy (with this WW.XX.YY.ZZ).

The problem is that the current Administration Panel for my domain allows me to change only the DNS server names:

Name servers

So, how can I know the name server that will point to WW.XX.YY.ZZ. I have SSH access if that helps.

Do you own the domain through GoDaddy as well, or is it through some other registrar? — Paul Kroon, Jul 18 '10 at 19:12

It looks as though you can manage your domain through GoDaddy's control panel, even if they aren't your registrar. See this article. It looks like you'll be able to just change the name servers to GoDaddy's, and then you can create A records for your domain to point to your virtual server.

If you can change only your DNS servers, you must deploy a DNS and configure it accordingly to what you want.

You don't have the possibility to put a redirect or something else ?

No... I don't have any other possibility to put a redirect. Any idea? – Cristian Jul 18 '10 at 19:06
