So when I use the web panel and I create a domain, do I need to create a custom nameserver in it or can I use the DO one?
Hello!
Since DigitalOcean is acting as your domain’s authoritative nameservers, the next step will be to create DNS records in your DigitalOcean account to direct traffic to your Droplet’s IP address for your domain.
There are a few guides that should help with this:

I’m not familiar with CentOS Web Panel (CWP) however I found their installation documentation here: http://centos-webpanel.com/installation-instructions
I recommend ensuring that you have enough system resources required by the web panel to properly function along with your operating system and any other applications like a webserver or database. Web panels often make system administration tasks easier however they do require more CPU and RAM to run!
Here are a few other articles for getting started:

I hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this! Right now I just have the 5 dollar plan. Right now I have 3 sites I would like to add, what do you recommend?
