Hi,

It looks like you are using Cloudflare for your website. There are two parts to making a subdomain work:

  1. Configuring the subdomain to point to your Droplet by adding a DNS record
  2. Configuring your web server to accept connections from the subdomain and serve the right content

Since you’re using Cloudflare, Step 1 needs to be done through their control panel. Log in to your account, go to the DNS page, and add an A record with the name as just the subdomain without the domain itself (e.g. sub for sub.mycharterspeedtest.com) and your Droplet’s IP address as the value.

For step 2, check out these tutorials:
