Let’s say I want to move one of my websites here, on Digital Ocean, excepting one subdomain which for now will stay at the current hosting provider (on a shared hosting plan, no dedicated IP). So:
-
http://mysite.com should point to a DO droplet
-
http://subdomain.mysite.com should point to the other hosting provider
Since the main domain will be configured here, how will I set up the subdomain?
Thanks!
