No, the nameservers are not restricted or tied to any product or service. Based on your screenshot, it appears you went one level too deep in their UI. Go to My Account, expand Domains, click Launch next to the domain you want to modify, then under the Settings tab look for Nameservers and the Manage link that appears under them. Click on that and then select the Custom radio button and the Enter custom nameservers link. Entering custom nameservers will replace the default informational nameservers.

You probably bought a bundle with restrictions due to the price. I always suggest that people do not go cheap. Domain name registration and hosting is cheap enough, shaving a buck or two costs more in the end. You will likely find GoDaddy quite accommodating to your wishes. I have been dealing with GoDaddy since the beginning and found that they are a good company and their support is very good, but you will need to talk to them. | |
