Hi there
Sorry for the basic question, but I have searched google and I am still a little confused.
I have premium dns with namecheap.
I have added two A records in my namecheap dns managemnet
one is @ my ip address and automatic the other is * my ip address automatic
Is that all I need to add here? Do I still add the ns1.digitalocean nameservers aswell
Should I just scrap the premium dns and use digital ocean dns?
My domain is a .co.uk I will be installing lets encrypt so do i also need to add more a records or cnames ect?
Sorry for the many ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

I’d go with cloudflare’s dns if i had to choose. It’s free and one of the fastest out there.
If you are only looking to add records for the website you need to add a CNAME record as well.
www IN CNAME domain.co.uk.
You can always check the records propagation on https://dnschecker.org/
