Did you create DNS records using DigitalOcean domain panel under Networking -> Domains?

You can also use this tool to check if the domain has propagated in other locations: https://syscoding.com/network/propagation/

I went to networking->domains and did the following

In the domain box i added nameOfMySite.com and in the IP section i added the IP of the droplet then hit create.

I wen to the site you provided but nothing showed in the response section after adding my domain

  Domain should start to work within 12-24 hours after you have created the domain under networking.
  
  The Propagation Checker can be slow since it will check in 19 different locations, but it should load after 30-60 minutes.

Node.js is an open source JavaScript runtime environment for easily building server-side and networking applications. Node.js applications can be run at the command line but this guide focuses on running them as a service using PM2, so that they will automatically restart on reboot or failure, and can safely be used in a production environment.
