How Can I Create A link based IP for a local hosted server
Pardon for any wrong terms I use, while I understand how to run a server for minecraft both locally and off a paid host I don't always understand the technical side of it.
We're setting up a dedicated server tower in my house, vs paying for a host, but I want to be able to give them a redirect that looks like a weblink (like my last server was nuthouse.minecraft.best) instead of giving them the ip address particularly because this one would be hosted from my home
How would I set about doing that? Would it require another program? I know I'll have to pay for the web domain I'm sure

Domains are not reverse proxies and do not do anything to hide your IP.
you can use noip.com to generate a hostname for you to send, note that people can still log with your IP
okay I had to google reverse proxy, the more I learn the more pc stupid I feel, thank you both for giving the the answer and giving me more to look into
I'm less worried about hiding my ip and more so focused on making it so that its easier to determine what server they are trying to connect to since I maintain several
Thank you all, noip does do dynamic dns and that was the term so I'll be able to research more
I don't have a domain yet, because I didn't know what I was looking for in terms of the redirect
I'll start reading on the page you've linked
I'll do more research now that I know the appropriate terms since it'll be a few weeks before I can even think about bringing a server online
its just for minecraft, I've got 3 servers so I want to make it easier for my players to connect to the right one
duckdns is even better cause you don't have to renew the ddns
it has that said noip every month needs renewal like you need to login into noip or the domain expires

nope you gotta login every month and press a button to renew your domain
I used it for about 2 years it was super annoying
