Point your domains from another domain registrar to your hosting account

Hi there are various scenarios where you may need to point your domains from another registrar to your current hosting account. This is not a domain transfer and requires no fee. I'll explain domain transfer later. Sometimes you have a very good and cheap hosting plan but the downside of your current registrar is that registering a new domain with them is expensive. Also you have a cheap domain registrar but the hosting account does not have unlimited features. So obviously if you want to get new domains you register it with a cheap domain registrar like godaddy or 1&1 and buy a cheap unlimited hosting account elsewhere. Suppose you already have a hosting account with fatcow. All you need to do is point your domains in godaddy or 1&1 to your hosting account in fatcow. Below are the steps of how to do so.


  • Register a new domain name in Godaddy

  • Add the domain name in your fatcow account

  • Choose the folder in which the new domain would point to in your fatcow hosting

  • Enter the fatcow nameservers ns1.fatcow.com, ns2.fatcow.com into the domain nameservers in your godaddy domain account.



This way when someone enter the domain your registered in godaddy account, it will be pointed to a folder in your fatcow account.
