Hello,
I had two domains pointing to one droplet.
Now I have another droplet and I removed one of the domains from the old droplet to point to the new droplet.
But when I visit the domain that is suppose to point to the new droplet it takes me to what the other domain is pointing to (old droplet).
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Have you updated your DNS Entry with either DigitalOcean (if you’re using their DNS) or your domain registrar so that your pointing to the new IP? If so, is the new IP address showing when you query the domain?
You can ping your domain locally to see what IP is being reported, or you can us a server on another network and do the same from the CLI.
In most cases, DNS updates (through DigitalOcean) almost instantly (in my experience). With domain registrars, I’ve had it take up to 48 hours. Of course, ISP cache will also play a role in this as well. Some ISP’s will cache requests for longer periods of time which can be a major pain :-) (but that’s often fixed by resetting the modem).
