I have set up a Droplet through digital ocean and have connected my host IP to my Remote Host in PHP Storm with an SFTP Connection. In my previous workspaces all of the domains connected to the host IP address have shown in the home folder in the remote host. I just made the changes to point the DNS to Digital Ocean 24 hours ago so I am unsure if the domain has propagated for all ISPs. However I am wondering if there is anything else to do to get my domain connected to my remote host? Is there anything I need to do on my end, or does the domain automatically populate once the connection to the droplet is established? Again this is PHP Storm by JetBrains using the Remote Host. If anyone could provide an answer to this question that would be much appreciated.

DNS propagation may take up to 48 hours rather than the 24 hours you’ve waited up to this point. It’s also vital to ensure that your domain’s DNS settings are correctly pointing to your DigitalOcean droplet.
You can use our DNS tool to ensure the settings are correct:

If, after the propagation period, the domain is still not showing up, you might want to double-check your PHP Storm settings for anything that might prevent the domain from displaying.

Heya,
When you’re working with a DigitalOcean droplet and PHPStorm, you need to consider several things in terms of the connection, domain propagation, and file structure.
Connecting PHPStorm to your Droplet:
Domain Propagation:
Domain Connection and File Structure:
/var/www/html
, and for Nginx, it’s often/usr/share/nginx/html
or/var/www/domain_name
.Next Steps:
PHPStorm Specifics:
In conclusion, while PHPStorm can connect to your droplet and show you files, the actual management of domains and their associated files is handled on the droplet itself, through server configuration and the file system.
