Hello everybody,

I bought a domain name on Hover.com and wanted to know how I can connect my homelab to it. So far I've got the domain connected to Cloudflare but I have absolutely no idea how to go about getting everything set up on the networking side of things. Does anybody have some useful tips/guides/videos that could help?

With namecheap I can setup dynamic DNS on my router and it keeps my domains pointing directly to my home ip, at that point you can point directly to a server on your network with port forwarding or use a reverse proxy or whatever internally. I actually only point one domain at my house then CNAME everything to that domain, works great for me
