How to spin off a new droplet from sm existing droplet but with a different domain name

Hey Jorge! 👋

You can do that by taking a snapshot of your existing Droplet and then creating a new Droplet from that snapshot:

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/snapshots/how-to/create-and-restore-droplets/

If you don’t already have a snapshot you can start by creating one:

• Go to the DigitalOcean Control Panel and navigate to the Droplet you want to duplicate.

• Select the Snapshots tab and create a snapshot of the Droplet. This creates a full backup of the current state.

• Once the snapshot is ready, navigate to the Create Droplet section in the control panel.

• Choose the snapshot you just created under the “Choose an Image” section.

Once the new Droplet is ready, you’ll need to point your new domain name to the new Droplet’s IP address:

• Update your DNS records for the new domain in your domain registrar or via DigitalOcean’s DNS management:
  • Add an A record pointing the new domain to the new Droplet’s IP address.

Finally, log in to the new Droplet and update your web server (e.g., Nginx or Apache) and application settings to use the new domain name.

Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to share more details about your exact current Droplet setup.
