Does my droplet come with its own domain name/ip address?

Posted on January 26, 2015

Hi, I’m looking to begin setting up my own CS:GO server here. This may seem like a mundane question, but do the droplets come with their own IPs that people can connect to?

Example: for the FQDN, can I just put anything I want?

This question was answered by @mrains2k:

You get your own IP for the droplet that is internet facing, they don’t however come with a domain. You can purchase your own doamin from somewhere like GoDaddy, and you can then point its nameservers to the DigitalOcean nameservers.

Once you have done this, you can add that domain to your account, and point it to your droplets as well as setting up any other DNS entries you need.

As for running a CS:GO server, have you looked at the specifications that you need? Just something to bear in mind.
