I’m configuring name servers for one of my domain according to this guide here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-vanity-or-branded-nameservers-with-digitalocean-cloud-servers
It specifically says:
(Do not forget the trailing dots)
But using the new DNS Manager UI, we can’t add trailing dot (see screenshot here: https://imgur.com/3GGVWSd)
Is there any neat trick that I’m not aware of or is it okay this way? Anybody has an idea?
Thanks!

Hello,
I believe that the way that you have it in the screenshot is fine.
Basically if you do not add a trailing dot in the
Hostnamefiled, your domain name would be automatically appended.Example:
testsin theHostnamefiled, your domain would be appended:tests.brainpad.orgtests.brainpad.orgin the filed, without a dot at the end, you would get:tests.brainpad.org.brainpad.orgtests.brainpad.org.in the filed, the end result would simply be:tests.brainpad.orgHope that this makes sense :)
