I am using Google Domains for domain name. I host client on Vercel which works perfectly fine. But I have a problem with accessing my droplet on subdomain.
My google domain settings are like this:
@ A 3600 Vercel IP www CNAME 3600 cname.vercel-dns.com. API A 3600 My Droplet ID
When I try to access the droplet with raw ip it works fine but I cannot access it through subdomain. What am I doing wrong?

HI @TinyLapisAxolotl,
It seems to me like the DNS is not properly configured. Let’s say you have a domain.com and you want to point sub.domain.com to your droplet. What you can do is create an A record for sub.domain.com to point to your Droplet :
where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your Droplet’s IP address.
As for the www version, now you can use a cNAMe record like so
That way your www.sub.domain.com will point to where your sub.domain.com is pointing.
