I have 2 hosting accounts ... how do I make this work?

I first purchased godaddy to originally host my online business, but I found out that zencart would not work with there hosting plan unless i purchased another server for $80.00 a month from them. So I went and found another web host which I purchased for $80.00 a year.

I have uploaded all the files for the zen cart and installed it to the new web server, but my domain name https://www.socalstyles.net is still on the godaddy servers. My thought was that I could install the zen cart on my new server and then integrate it into my godaddy website that I have up. I'm not so sure if this is possible or what to do but I'm trying. I'm in mid stage of installing the multisite tool but im not sure if that is what I need ( and I'm a bit confused on this installation process and am going to bed now and will mess with it tomorrow) Is there any work arounds for what I want to do... Or am I going to have to pay another $30.00 and transfer the domain name to my new web host and just forget about my godaddy hosting account and let it just sit there.

Any help is much appreciated.

to new server.

Leave the domain registered at GoDaddy as this is what they do well....
Log into your account with them and follow this tutorial to re-point your nameservers: GoDaddy tutorial

You should first arm yourself with your new host info on their nameservers that you are assigned to
