Hey, this question might be incredibly stupid and I apologise, but it’s been bugging me for a couple of days:
I have a droplet on DigitalOcean that I would like to be linked to the subdomain api.domain.com, while the main domain domain.com is linked to a website on Vercel.
DNS management is delegated to Namecheap and for a number of reasons we would like it to stay that way.
The website (Vercel) works perfectly, while the subdomain that - in theory - should connect to my droplet gives me the error: “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”
I’m pasting the configuration of Namecheap and that of DigitalOcean.
Can you advise me? There’s definitely something I’m doing wrong
Digital Ocean DNS config:

Namecheap DNS config:
