How do I stop using ghost but retain my domain name? Actually my domain www.medroute.eu results as available from any provider, is the one shown in the browser actually a subdomain? Many thanks, sorry for being confused. ---

Your nameserver records saying you are using a server from Digitalocean. so if you don’t change the nameserver from your domain control panel then it will work for that server. You may point your subdoamain in any other service provider’s host or server. ---
