Is It Necessary to Change NameServers to Host a Website at DigitalOcean?

Posted on September 17, 2016

Hello, Previously, my blog PlainTips.com was hosted on GoDaddy Servers. Recently I’ve created a droplet at DigitalOcean. After shifting all the data (files and databases etc.) I’ve made just one change in my Zone File at my Domain registrar’s and I pointed it to the IP address of my newly created droplet. (I didn’t touch NameServer Record).

Now, my blog serves content through my newly created droplet @ DigitalOcean. While the current Nameservers record points to; ns64.domaincontrol.com ns63.domaincontrol.com

My question is, why do I need to change NameServer when my content is already being served through the new droplet?
