I have several projects configured in DO, each representing an environment of my app (dev, staging, prod). I have one domain. I would like to set up DNS so that subdomains point at different environments (dev.mydomain.com, staging.mydomain.com, mydomain.com).
I see in the DO dashboard where to add a domain, but it looks like it wants to associate a domain with an individual project. Is there a way to set up DNS so that one domain can be used across projects?

Hii @proconnectapp,
What webserver are you using, Apache or Nginx?
You can solve it using Virtualhost, basically it is a way to virtualize a host.
Nginx - How To Set Up Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on Ubuntu 16.04
Apache - How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on Ubuntu 16.04
Hope that helps ;)

Hi @proconnectapp,
All you need to do is to create a subdomain and point it to your Droplet/Project. Associating the domain with a project won’t stop you from doing that so do not worry.
In regards to other configurations, please do let me know if you need any other assistance.
