Yes,

If you own a domain change the A record in your DNS providers information to point to your droplets IP. This would look like "@ 162.193.0.1". If you have not yet purchased a domain name please research providers and purchase a domain, then assign your IP to the A Record

Sure it is! If you have a domain name registered, you just need to set up the correct DNS records. Take a look at this tutorial to get started:
