00:00 Intro
01:46 Server Setup
07:12 Testing with nginx
09:53 Domain name registration
12:40 Pointing domain to server

So in this video i'll show you how you can setup a new server (or droplet) in the DIgital Ocean infrastructure and we'll see how you can set up a quick web server to show the droplet is active.

We'll then go and register a domain with Namecheap and point the domain to the DigitalOcean droplet by modifying the domain's DNS so typing in the domain to a web browser will load the test web page on our droplet.

What we're kind of doing is a type of domain forwarding but instead of any requests for the site/domain coming to an initial server (like NameCheap for example) we're just telling the Internet via the Domain Name System where to find our domain.
