Hi guys!

I'm a bit...frustrated with the inconsistencies of duckdns.org. Don't take me wrong, I seriously appreciate the easiness and the free service they have provided over the years. But I'm considering to have a second account with FreeDNS. How would I add it to my servers? The main one is a nginx server with certbot, that serves the current myserver1, myserver2, myserver3.mydomain.duckdns.org urls. Once registered mydomain.afraid.org, what changes should I do to make nginx serve also the new myserver1.mydomain.afraid.org and so on?

Thanks!

You can create a canonical name (CNAME) record to point to your old domain, you don't need to recreate the LE if you don't want to.
