If you own a GoDaddy domain and would like to use DigitalOcean droplets as your hosting provider, you can easily do so by following these steps:

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account.

2. Under the Domains section, click on the name of your domain.

3. On the General Settings page, click on the Settings button in the Domain Overview section.

4. Under the DNS section, click on the Change button.

5. In the Change DNS Server window, click on the DigitalOcean droplet icon.

6. In the Select Domain Name field, type in the domain name of your DigitalOcean droplet.

7. Click on the Go button.

8. In the confirmation window, click on the OK button.

9. Your domain will now be pointing to your DigitalOcean droplet.

PRO TIP: If you are trying to point your GoDaddy domain to a DigitalOcean droplet, be aware that this can be a complicated process. There are many steps involved, and if you are not familiar with DNS settings, you could end up making your site inaccessible. If you are not comfortable making these changes yourself, we recommend contacting GoDaddy support or hiring a professional to help you.
