What is FQDN?
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is the complete domain name for a specific computer, or host, on the internet. The FQDN consists of two parts: the hostname and the domain name.
In our case, this will be webcloud.cityescape.ph. It was created during our Droplet creation in Digital Ocean (DO). If you somehow forgot your hostname. You may run this command below:
hostname
How to assign IP address to your FQDN?
Simply, go to your name server provider (most cases, this is your domain provider) and have them point your hostname to your Droplet IP address.
