Ghost domain is pointing to my app

Posted on February 24, 2015

I recently found a website / domain that is returning a exact copy of my recently website to DigitalOcean. I’m using my droplet to host a Telescope app (social news sharing). Could you please help me understand what’s happening and how it is possible to point a domain to my app without my “approval” ?

Thanks

Hi woet,

Thanks for your answer. I was a bit stressed, but I know understand what’s happening. I have properly configured nginx to return 444, except for my configured websites.

Anyone can point their domain anywhere. You can avoid it by using selective vhosts.
