I don't want to move my DNS hosting to homestead. I want to leave it with GoDaddy. What DNS records to I need to point to homestead for my website to work properly. All I have with homestead is website hosting. This information should not be so hard to find.

If the domain was just recently registered you will need to allow 60 days with its current provider before it can be moved. Once the domain is past 60 days you can transfer your domain to Homestead by following these instructions https://community.homestead.com/homestead/topics/how_do_i_transfer_my_domain_to_homestead. In the mean time, if you have a site on your Homestead account and would like to connect it to that domain just point either the name servers or A record to Homestead with this option https://community.homestead.com/homestead/topics/how_do_i_point_my_domain_to_homestead_using_nameservers.

I need to update my nameservers as my off-site zone is ready. When I try this through Homestead's Domain Manager, it says "This domain is already associated with a website account." I have my domain registered at Godaddy. Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

re: jrtpuppy.com
I have had this account for years. The domain name is registered elsewhere, and the nameservers are pointed to homestead correctly (and have been for several years).
ns1.mdnsservice.com
ns2.mdnsservice.com
The site was previously displaying, but now it isn't. In my account under domains it showed the following info:
Domains>Manage Your Websites Domains
jrtpuppy.com (pointed domain)>
site > jrtpuppy > Change association >
The domain www.jrtpuppy.com is currently pointing to the website jrtpuppy.
Subdomain>
Link this subdomain to:
Another site in this account: jrtpuppy.homestead.com
But site was not displaying, so I tried the following:
I changed the subdomain to also use Folder in jrt puppy.
Still not displaying site.
I followed instructions above, and did through #3, but don't get the option for #4 as shown above. I get a message that says "This domain is already associated with a website account."
Can you please help me?
Thanks so much.

How long does it take to work? I did the above a couple of days ago and my website is not connected to my domain yet.

Everything looks good at my domain home at CanSpace but I still can not pull up my website on either of my domains I have pointed to my homestead website. I have re-entered the 3 namesavers and attempted to re-do the process, but homestead says that my domains are already associated with a website. I followed the protocol perfectly as stated in the beginning of this thread. Is something going on with the Homestead Host? What could be the reason(s) for this?
Thanks
