Question
my droplet is from digitalocean.com and domain is from godaddy.com.when website works fine by ip but domain throws "disallowed host" error.
the error is:
“DisallowedHost at /
Invalid HTTPHOST header: ‘thesis-experiment.com’. You may need to add 'thesis-experiment.com’ to ALLOWEDHOSTS.”
i have had the names of my domain in both nginx site-available and my ALLOWED_HOSTS in settings.py but it still does not work.
i followed this tutorial https://digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars
and i have put ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com and ns3.digitalocean.com in nameservers of godaddy.com but still no luck.
please help!

I solved the problem by rebooting the server it seems that restarting nginx was not enough; I used the command “sudo reboot” and the “disallowed host” error went away.
