Hi all, I’m completely frustrated in trying to setup a subdomain on one my droplets. I’ve set up a new virtual host just for the sub domain and setup the A and CName records for the subdomain, but nothing works. I’ve tried the many tutorials and posts for sub domains even here at digital ocean, but I keep getting a
This site can’t be reached test.beautylounge3000.com’s server IP address could not be found. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Dane

Hey friend,
If you set up the DNS with us, it looks like you forgot to change the nameservers from GoDaddy to ours. Else, you would need to set up the subdomain record at GoDaddy as they currently manage the DNS:
[root@gateway] ~ # dig NS beautylounge3000.com +short
ns14.domaincontrol.com.
ns13.domaincontrol.com.
For reference, these are our nameservers, which must be configured at your domain registrar:
ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com

And you were right. I set up the A record for the sub domain at Godaddy.
Thanks.
