Question
A-record to direct my existing web page to DigitalOcean
- Posted on September 26, 2019

Asked by timwongai
I have a webpage but slow (hosting is slow) however, I don’t want to touch the domain there. www.rehealthier.com
Now, I have few new pages want to host in digitalOcean as it is fast and I want to named it as… demo.rehealthier.com
May I:
- buy a webhosting service in DigitalOcean and have a fixed IP.
- add a new A-record in my existing hosting and point to the new DigitalOcean iP.
Is the cheapest webhosting plan also provide IP this purpose?
Thanks Tim

HI @timwongai,
Every Digital Ocean droplet comes with an IP which you can use to set as your A record.
