I have my droplet, I have a domain, I have changed the nameservers to be the Digital Ocean ones, and I have following the steps on (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean “How to Set Up a Host Name with Digital Ocean”).
I can even ping my domain’s URL and I get a good response. I have uploaded a website to there, but I don’t know how to access it.
Say if I wanted to load the files from “/home/test” on my server, how would I connect that to “www.mydomain.com/test”?

Hi, I think you are not uploading your files to the right path. Could you please tell me which OS is your droplets and where did you copy your files?
You need to install a webserver on your droplet: How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 14.04. Once you’ve done that, browsing to jackapple.com should serve the contents of /var/www/html.
