I run
sudo cp /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-available/test
Then edited that file and changed only
listen 80 default_server;
#listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
root /var/www/test/mysite/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name test.downjustfor.me;
and of course restarted nginx server but when I go to http://test.downjustfor.me it’s show my original page. What I doing wrong?

You DNS records seem to be set up correctly, so this does seem to be an issue with your Nginx configuration. Have you linked /etc/nginx/sites-available/test to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/test
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/test /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
And of course, remember to restart Nginx so that it pick up the changes:
sudo service nginx restart
For more info, check out this tutorial:
Nginx requires you to setup subdomain in almost the same way you add a new domain.
You need to do proper 5 steps to add the subdomain or any addon domain, check them out listed here: https://nabtron.com/add-subdomain-nginx/
Let me know if the issue remains.
