Hi @ryein,
You don’t necessarily need to use DigitalOcean’s nameservers to manage your DNS. You can manage your DNS from everywhere you want as long as it’s convenient for you! In most if not all tutorials on DigitalOcean, managing the DNS has been mentioned to be done on the platform so that’s more clearer for the user how to proceed. In reality, you are not obliged to do so but you can use whatever makes more sense for your needs.
Regards, KFSys
