But I having trouble trying figuring out a way to use the domain name i have with godaddy and create a new wordpress blog on my ipage hosting account, without having to transfer the domain name over to ipage. Is this possible?

    Yes it is very possible.

    I use it every day

    1. All my domains are on Godaddy and Namecheap
    2. All my hosting is on Hostgator and another local hosting company.

    It is how it works:

    1. From your current hosting company you get the DNS details , nameservers..
    something like ns1.ipagehosting.com or along the lines...

    2. Then you in Godaddy, and tell them, hey use my hosting on iPage..by changing
    DNS/Nameserver records in the domain settings in Godaddy...

    Or see attached image for the exact guideliness to change DNS in Godaddy for your
    3rd party hosting.


    3. Then add that DOMAIN in your HOSTING panel (if your hosting supports you can add
    multiple domains there...)

    Then you will some way to Install your next blog in that 2nd domain from your hosting
    panel.

    Let me know if anything confuses you.

    A 2nd for Namecheap over Godaddy for registration.

    Their support is much better.
