Hi @twineradvertising,
Firstly, make sure you have pointed your domain name to your Droplet. If you are unsure how you can do that, please check the following documentation - https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/
Additionally, DigitalOcean have a pretty good tutorial how to point your DNS to a DigitalOcean droplet using different registrars like GoDaddy. You can check the article here - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars
Now, to the fun stuff. You’ll need to create an Apache virtual host for your website in order for it to work properly. At the moment you don’t have a configuration for your domain and as such the server/droplet, doesn’t know what content to server. Luckily, DigitalOcean have a pretty good tutorial about that as well. You can check it here - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-18-04-quickstart
Please follow the mentioned tutorials and they will 100% help you out in your case. If something does happen and it doesn’t work, please update here where you got stuck.
