Hello dudes, Actually I have a domain with GoDa*** but my hosting is at Hostga*** (www.mydomain.com), so, What I wanna do is create a subdomain example “blog.mysubdomain.com” but this subdomain will be point to my actual Droplet with Ghost, so, in my shared server “hostGa…” I created a CNAME record pointed to my droplet, but doesn’t work, anyone can help me?

Who is managing DNS, registrar or host? Does your droplet have an FQDN, and if so, is that what you pointed the CNAME to? If it doesn’t have an FQDN (and even if it does), you can instead create an A record and point that to the droplet’s IP. <br> <br>Roughly speaking, an A record will point to an IP, while a CNAME is an ‘alias’ to another domain.
