I just registered a domain name and the are not letting me put IP addresses into the nameserver list. They only allow names, Im really hoping there is something on your end that you can help me out with. I didn't realize this was the case with you guys when I signed up. Hope you can help me out or if there is a work around I can do to resolve this.
What you want to set are the "A Records". We don't provide Nameservers, so you shouldn't be changing your nameservers themselves.

Instead, you want to modify your DNS configuration. For example, on GoDaddy, the section is labeled "Total DNS Control". There you can enter "A Records". Some Registrars unfortunately don't provide this functionality, and your only real recourse then is to either 1) transfer the domain, or 2) use a third-party nameserver company.

I hope that helps a bit.

Yes unfortunately GoDaddy is one of the very few registrars that offer that service and neither of the 2 I use provide that service unless I pay them for hosting then they offer advanced dns services which will be even more money.
Enom also offers it, but they're much more expensive than Godaddy, which is why I recommend using Godaddy.

You could look into using a Free DNS service, ala http://freedns.afraid.org/

For my own DNS purposes, I use DNS Made Easy ( http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com )
