I have a server hosted somewhere else and It has a subdomain that I made on it. I was able to get it to redirect to the IP address of the droplet but I can not get it to show the url of the subdomain. It just shows the IP address. How can I accomplish this? Thanks for the help.

you need to create a DNS record for your subdomain:
