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.
To answer your questions properly:
- You can buy/create a droplet and host your website there without a problem
- Yes, you can a DNS record - A record for your domain and use your droplet’s IP
Kind regards, Kalin
