When you Require to Change Name Server?
Name server update required only when you have your domain registration and hoster are different. For example, you have registered the domain with Godaddy but using UNIFYHOST as your hosting provider for the website.
If you already have hosting with Godaddy and you are only required to point certain website (alias domain name such as 'abc.unifyhost.in') in this case you are only required to update the A record in GoDaddy DNS management by using entry.
