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
