Accepted Answer
This is only a bad formulation of message. It’s static message that you can see in /var/www/html/index.html.
Open it if editor you like, e.g.:
- nano /var/www/html/index.html
Observe it and you will notice that message there. If you change that file to:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello World!</p>
</body>
</html>
Save it and exit, go to Droplet and you shall see Hello World!
For changing files you will need to SSH and you can learn more about it here.
