Hi all,
I followed the tutorial to link a subdomain to my droplet and here is what I did :
From my domain provider, I removed all DNS entries and added the following NS (and no A):
ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com
From DO networking section, I added my subdomain, it automatically added the same above NS records and I added the following A:
my.subdomain.com -> xx.my.droplet.ip.xx
But 24 hours after that, nothing appears on dnschecker.org in A records … Any ideas ? What did I do wrong ?

Can you please double check that your domain name is actually using DigitalOcean’s nameservers? You can use the same website but instead of checking for the A record you can check for the NS or do a whois subdomain.com via the terminal
Hello,
Have in mind that DNS changes might take up more than 24 hours due to DNS cache. If everything is done correctly you should see your domain name’s DNS propagation all over the world using this website - https://www.whatsmydns.net/
Let me know how it goes.
