I evidently did it correctly and it just took quite a while to propagate. For future reference for anyone else I set it up the following way: <br> <br>On namecheap: <br> <br>@ – www.mywebsite.com. – CNAME <br>www – myusername.github.io. – CNAME <br> <br>dev – ns1.digitalocean.com. – NS <br> <br>On digitalocean: <br> <br>Machine hostname is dev.mywebsite.com. <br>Add DNS for dev.mywebsite.com, keep the default @ A record (the droplet’s IP)
Hey @shawncplus! I’m trying to do the same thing, but I’m confused about your answer.
I have a domain on namecheap, and it (website.com) points to github pages. I want to create a subdomain (subdomain.website.com) on namecheap and point it to a Digital Ocean droplet.
In my namecheap, I have: @ - 192.30.252.153 - A(Address) @ - 192.30.252.154 - A(Address) www - mywebsite.com. - CNAME(Alias)
On my digitalocean: Under the DNS, I created a dev.mywebsite.com and if you click on ‘View,’ I kept the default @A record with the droplet’s IP and the three default NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM. rows.
