The process of creating your own name server records with GoDaddy is actually a very simple process and this article explains it in very close detail, step-by-step.

You basically want to login to your GoDaddy account and click on "Manage Domains" and then click on yourdomain.com. We are going to use the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 for this example.

1) Go here: https://dcc.godaddy.com/default.aspx
2) Enter your goddady login information.
3) Click on yourdomain.com.
4) Go to the very bottom left of the screen and you will see a "Host Summary" section.
5) Click on the "add" link there.
6) Enter "ns1" (or whichever name you want to use) for the first name server and enter the IP 1.1.1.1 in the "Host IP 1" section.
7) Click "ok" and repeat the step for your second name server "ns2" (or whichever name you want to use) and Click on "ok" again.
Now you have to point your domain to your own name servers by going to the very top of your screen and clicking on the "nameserver" icon.
9) Within in the pop-up window select the option that says: "I host my domains with another provider."
10) Then enter ns1.yourdomain.com under the first field and ns2.yourdomain.com under the second field.
11) Click "ok" and you are done. The changes have been entered in the GoDaddy DNS database.
12) Please allow up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place across the internet.
