# Digital Ocean Integration

## Setup

### DO Account
You will need to setup a Digital Ocean (DO) account to set this up: [Register with DO](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/registrations/new)

Upon getting your account, you will want to create a new project which will be referenced for all of the node launches.

### Domain

You will need to register a domain with some registrar and update your Name Servers to DO's in the [Networking -> Domains](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/networking/domains) console in order to let DO manage DNS.
