Hello, @trackitzanzibar
What you can do is to change the domain nameservers to ns1.digitalocean.com, ns2.digitalocean.com, and ns3.digitalocean.com.
Adding a domain you own to your DigitalOcean account lets you manage the domain’s DNS records with the control panel and API.

The other option will be just to change the domain’s A record and point to the IP address of your droplet.
