I’ve tried following this guide but it doesn’t work. http://withr.me/add-domain-name-for-your-server-on-digitalocean/
I wanted to point cruzgsworks.space, a domain which i registered in godaddy, to my droplet 198.199.95.70
I’ve taken screenshots of my configurations (zonefiles, nameservers, etc) in godaddy and digitalocean and uploaded it in my Ubuntu droplet which already has an apache2 server. http://198.199.95.70/images/
Is there something wrong with my current configuration or is there anything else that is missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Odd. I think you have everything set up correctly – or, at least, functionally – but it doesn’t work anyway. I’m not sure why.
The screenshots show and whois cruzgsworks.space confirms that you’ve set it to use DigitalOcean’s nameservers. However, the .space nameservers don’t return any (NS) records for the domain. My guess is that you just have to wait and it will start working within the next couple hours.

By the way, the CNAME and MX records you’ve created in GoDaddy’s DNS manager effectively do not exist, because you’ve configured the domain to use DigitalOcean’s DNS service. You should set the necessary records in DigitalOcean’s DNS manager, or switch the domain to use GoDaddy’s DNS somewhere in GoDaddy’s domain settings.
