You usually replace words like "arigatou" with "doumo." In all my experience speaking with native Japanese, I haven't heard them use "doumo" as a greeting. The usual usage is in the context of "thank you." Just keep in mind that when you do so, it's less formal than "arigatou," and is usually only done by males.
