Is it possible to point a subdomain at a droplet, without having to move domain to digitalocean?

I have a domain, example.com, and I want to point a subdomain, test.example.com, at one of my droplets, WITHOUT having to move the domain to digital oceans nameservers. is this possible and how?

Solution

  • Yeah, it's very much possible. Go to your DNS manager, and create an A record for your subdomain pointing to your DigitalOcean droplet's public IP.

    For example, to point your subdomain test to your droplet with IP 13.13.13.13, set the following A record.

    Type   Name   IPv4 Address
----   ----   ------------
A      test   13.13.13.13
