This question is sort of dev ops or networking related. When I point a domain at a hosting provider, I use a fairly generic Nameserver, i.e. ns1.digitalocean.com.

I understand when I add a domain to my hosting service to manage, that the hosting service recognises I am the registrant and serves up the site to the domain - so my question is, if another customer of the same hosting service adds my exact domain to manage on his account (there are now two) how does the correct registrant of the domain get selected? I.e. if there are two accounts on Digitalocean and they both put in example.com to manage and the registrar of example.com is pointing to the generic ns1.digitalocean.com how does Digitalocean select the correct accounut and code base to serve up? Apologies if any confusion or lack terminology - I am a bit fuzzy on this whole process. Thanks, Nick

They wouldn't allow another user to add the same domain, otherwise it's a bug.
