I have my domain registered through 1&1. If I want to create a subdomain (i.e. test.example.com), do I need to add "test" in my 1&1 dns settings area or do I do it through DigitalOcean? Or do I need to create the subdomains in both places?

Check out https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean

Once you've added example.com to the DNS Manager, you can proceed to creating the subdomain DNS record: 
Type: A

Name: test

Value: 1.2.3.4

where 1.2.3.4 is your droplet's IP address.
