An additional vector for this kind of attack is to create a zonefile for a subdomain off of a working, live domain administered by the same DNS server.

EG if foo.com is a working site on your DNS provider, try creating a zonefile for bar.foo.com and see if you can create an A record to point to your own server.

This used to be something shared web hosting services running CPanel/WHM were particularly susceptible to. Clearly, the risks here are both phishing/identity and cookie credential stealing.
