It’s not a critical error, but I strongly suggest you set the name you picked when you created the droplet as hostname on the server. It’s recommended to use the fqdn format. <br> <br>For an example how to do this on Linux: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-debian-squeeze-debian-6.0-with-bind-dovecot-and-nginx-ispconfig-3-p3
Unless you are running Apache with an nginx front-end you will want to update the IP in your virtual host to match your public IP as well.
