    Hello,
    My hosting account is with godaddy and I have doamin name registerd with tucows. I want to attach this domain name to my hosting account. I don't want to transfer this domain to godaddy as they charge fees. Is there anyway that how to do that. In the help they said that only to change the nameservers, but how only by changing the nameservers points to my hosting account.

    Regards,

    Yes, all you need to do is to change the nameservers. You do that with the domain registrar. Login to your account with tucows and look for the option to change them.

    If you dont know what they are contact your current host. Probably, if you look through your confirmation emails you will find the nameservers.

    Sometimes it takes around (upto) 24 hours to update the NS info.
    Have you considered that factor?

    you just have to make name servers on domain side and give them IPs and then wait atleast 72 hours to get your new site running and its the time required because name servers would be updated in all parts of world!
