Subdomain redirect to Heroku

Question

Hello

I would redirect a subdomain to a heroku app (eg: test.herokuapp.com)

I tried remove A entry and add a CNAME entry with the url but doesn’t work.

Could someone help me? Any tip for this redirect works?

Thanks

Hi there!

Heroku has their own DNS management solution built into their product. You should be able to create a CNAME by running:

heroku domains:add blog.example.com

This should generate a DNS record like:

Record	Name	Target
CNAME	blog	test.herokuapp.com.

Hello

I just created the subdomain in Heroku, but the main domain is hosted in DigitalOcean. So, need I do something in DigitalOcean?

If the root domain is hosted with DigitalOcean, you’ll also need to add that CNAME in the DigitalOcean DNS panel.
