Hello. I am using VPS DigitalOcean. I installed the Hestia panel there and want to create a website for a client (‘clientdomain . com’), but since I don’t have access to the domain yet, I want to join my subdomain (‘subdomain . mydomain . com’) to the hosting and the panel. I’ve already done the following:
created a domain (‘mydomain . com’) in DigitalOcean with an A record.
also created A record for ‘subdomain . mydomain . com’
inserted ‘ns1 .digitalocean .com’, ‘ns2 .digitalocean .com’, ‘ns3 .digitalocean .com’ at the domain registrar.
in Hestia, I created a client’s domain (‘clientdomain . com’) and specified an alias (‘subdomain . mydomain . com’). IP chose the real one. Installed Laravel there
waited for the update of the NS data and checked WhoIs (the NS were updated).
After all this, if I try to open ‘subdomain . mydomain . com’ nothing works. What am I doing wrong?
When I go to clientdomain. com, then everything works. And when I go to subdomain. mydomain. com, then I see the standard Cannot Access Site page.
I am not a powerhouse in administration, so I have questions:
The following helped in my case:
1.I deleted all previously created domains, DNS, DB, mail in the panel
2. I created a new domain (domain of my client) in the panel. When creating, I did not check the “DNS Support” and “Mail Support” checkboxes
3. After that, I reopened the previously created domain and indicated my subdomain in the aliases.
Of course, do not forget to pre-configure your domain in DigitalOcean (if you host there).
