Hi there @shlomoAngler,

What you could do is:

  • Add your domain to your DigitalOcean account as per the steps here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/add-domains/

  • After that add an A record for your domain name to point to your Droplet’s IP address and add a CNAME record for www to point to your domain name, as per the steps here:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/networking/dns/how-to/manage-records/

  • Then change your nameservers via Bluehost to ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, and ns3.digitalocean.com.

Note that once you’ve made the DNS changes it could take up to 24/48 hours for the DNS cache to clear over the Globe before you could see the new DNS records and your website.

In the meantime, I could suggest using this tool here to check your active DNS records:
