Hello there!
My domain name correctly points to my droplet ( following https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean ). I’m using GODADDY for my domain name.
So, I just added ns{1-3}.digitalocean.com at GODADDY and then I set up my domain name in the Networking tab.
The question is what prevents another DigitalOcean user from using my domain name?
In my mind I didn’t do any other authentication between DigitalOcean and GODADDY, I just added the nameservers. With that in mind, in the Networking tab in DigitalOcean I can add any hostname that has ns{1-3}.digitalocean.com in their whois, whether it belongs to me or not.
I think I’m wrong but I don’t know why.
