Yes To point it at a domain name

TL;DR
The user is asking for help with setting up a local instance of Appwrite. They mention going through Hostinger documentation but not finding anything about proxy. They suggest contacting Hostinger for assistance. The conversation then discusses adding an 'A' record to point to the server's IP, managing DNS, and using services like Cloudflare for proxy settings. The user also asks for mini-documentation on the topic. It is recommended to check Linode, Digital Ocean, or Hetzner for hosting Appwrite. No solution is provided in this support thread.

It's worth checking it out For now I would recommend checking one of these 3 that report to work very good with Appwrite

  • Linode
  • Digital Ocean
  • Hetzner (the cheapest)

Binyamin

What you can do is to manage the DNS by your own and just point some A record to your server IP

Where is your domain hosted?

Binyamin

You can check this list

Binyamin
30 Nov, 2023, 19:27

In that solution you're using CNAME because you're pointing it to an existing domain name

Binyamin
30 Nov, 2023, 19:28

In your case you'll need to add A record as you're pointing to an IP address

SpencerSama
30 Nov, 2023, 19:28

Hostinger

Binyamin

Binyamin

SpencerSama

SpencerSama

Binyamin
