Hi, I have two droplets, each of them being on a subdomain of wlnkn.com

I followed the DO guide for adding domains. Everything worked fine for around a week or two, then suddenly I'm getting DNS errors:

Julians-Air:~ julianpatdu$ nslookup -type=cname wlnkn.com
Server:     192.168.43.1
Address:    192.168.43.1#53

** server can't find wlnkn.com: NXDOMAIN

Julians-Air:~ julianpatdu$ dig wlnkn.com +trace

Your domain registrar has disabled the domain. You need to contact them to ask why. (Or double check to see if you've missed any emails.)

You'll only need to change your droplet name to match the hostname which you want your IP to resolve to it
