One of your competitors automatically creates sub-domains for each VM created through their service.
For example: https://example2226-199.members.digitalocean-competitor.com/
Do you already do this? I’ve been searching the docs and and questions and I cannot find any information about this, if so. Is there some API method which I need to invoke, or some setting I need to toggle to accomplish this?
This isn’t particularly useful for a long-term component, but it’s great for developing and testing SSL certificate configuration management automation, and so I’ve been spending money on your competitor’s service spinning these VMs up and down. Obviously I’d rather be giving you this business, because I like y’all.

Hey @nelsnelson DO doesn’t do this as far as I know.
However, you can do it yourself.
It’s not harder than creating a A record with your DNS server and pointing it towards your main IP address.
