I bought the domain name at one site, and setup hosting at the other - how do I make them talk to each other? Do I go onto the domain site and change the ns settings, or go to the hosting site and attahc the domain name settings there? I'm hosting with (mt) by the way

nt has subdomains just do that and have all your stuff in one place with one password and multiple domains

if your hosting with mt hds call them if they dont do it for you they will walk you through it

is it only a matter of delegating the hosts name servers on the domain name regsiter account site?

under your domain name account settings, enter the dns information that MT provided you with when you signed up. (for example, it will be something like NS16.MEDIATEMPLE.NET)
it takes about 24-48 hour for it to propagate worldwide and then your domain name should work alright.

btw, its usually two dns, like ns16 and ns17...
