Hi there @AlturasWebSolutions,
As the nameservers of your alturaswebsolutions.com domain name are set to the DigitalOcean nameservers, you need to copy the DNS records from your cPanel Zone manager and add them to your DigitalOcean DNS zone.
You can follow the steps on how to add DNS records via your DigitalOcean Control panel here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/
You can add the SPF and the DKIM records as TXT records.
Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Bobby
