Question
How to resolve domain name not found.

Asked by William Rolland
I created a droplet to host my the API I created 4 days ago along with a domain that is directed to my droplet. I’ve double checked that the IP address is correct and I did set up the hostname as type A but I still can’t seem to access it. The domain I created is named “srg.com” and the DNS record I created to point to the droplet is called “api.srg.com”. Could anyone give me tips for debugging this issue?

Hello @williamrolland
You need to add the A record for api.srg.com from your RockyNet account or switch the nameservers to:
And then you will control the DNS for the domain name from your DigitalOcean account.
You can refer to this article:

Hey @williamrolland,
First, make sure that you’ve added the DNS record to the proper place, where your Nameservers are.
I can see the nameservers of the srg.com domain are :
Have you added the DNS there?
