I’ve done this before but now I’m having issues.
I’m following this document: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean
And when I get to the point where I have to go to the DO control panel and Add DNS, when I type in the information I get an error “Name has already been taken.”
I’m not sure how to fix this.
