Hello all, here is my dilemma. here is my setup
- domain registered with google domain
- main website is hosted on netlify
- droplet on digital ocean running node
- this droplet is going to be a subdomain to my main website
- (main site) mysite.com, (droplet) api.mysite.com
- this droplet is going to be a subdomain to my main website
I need to use or assign an SSL cert to my api.mysite.com. When I use the UI to assign a new cert to this sub domain I get the following error message “Failed to validate nameserver records: a non DigitalOcean Name Server was found for <mysite.com> domain.”
Any suggestions?

Hi @blocksyweb,
I’ll recommend using Certbot to install an SSL for your subdomain located on your Droplet. Take a look at this tutorial here:
It will provide you with an example of how to issue an SSL certificate for the domains on a specific droplet, in your case for api.mysite.com.
