I created my first droplet, added ssh root address to terminal, and changed my password successfully. Should my IP address be working?

When setting up Apache, with these commands -
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2
Do you know if I should be logged in as a local, root, or non-root user?
Ok, that’s what I need to know. Thank you.
I’m assuming you are trying to browse to
http://your IP address. The operating system images (such as Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.) do not come with a web server installed so you can’t start serving files just yet.You will need to install a webserver such as Apache or nginx so that you can host a website (or more) on your droplet.
Take a look at the following article:
When I try to connect I get a ‘this webpage is unavailable’. Am I missing something?
Yes, it’s working.
