Hi there @zionnite555,

I would recommend starting with this guide on how to create a Droplet here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/create/

Once you have a Droplet, I will suggest going through the initial server setup tutorial here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/initial-server-setup-with-ubuntu-20-04

Here is also a step by step video guide on how to do that:

Once you have your server setup, you can then decide what services you want to install. For example, if you have a WordPress website you can follow a tutorial like this one here:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lamp-on-ubuntu-18-04

Here is also a collection of all of the getting started tutorials on the DigitalOcean community site:

Hope that this helps!
Regards,
Bobby

In this guide, we'll focus on getting a WordPress instance set up on a LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) on an Ubuntu 18.04 server.
