Hello,
Currently I have a GoDaddy Domain and corresponding Hosting Service. I was hoping that I could simply drop the hosting service and point the Domain/DNS over to a python provider like DigitalOcean. In GoDaddy’s DNS settings, it allows me to point my URL to an IP. When I create a droplet, does it get assigned an IP that I can simply tell GoDaddy to point to, or is it more complicated?
Thanks and regards,
Matthew Moisen

Yes,
Your droplet will have a IPv4 address and a IPv6 address if you enable it.
You then point your A and AAAA records to the IPv4 / IPv6 addresses of your DO server.
Just install a webserver on port 80 ( apache for example ) and enable it through the server firewall. Then thats it.
For example: If you had Centos7…
su - (password) yum -y update yum -y install httpd php perl python etc… chkconfig httpd on service httpd start
cd /var/www/html
add your .html .php etc files here, Done…
