Is it public? If you host a high traffic site from residential ISP connection, your account could get banned.

Regardless, I would host an NGINX proxy in front of some docker containers. It’s the easiest and classic way to front apps with custom domains very very easily. Traefik is also very nice and fast (Go based) reverse proxy.

If it’s purely for personal use, then check Cloudflared to tunnel into your network and access it like a VPN.

Again, if it’s Public be weary of DDOS attacks, port scans, etc. Personally I wouldn’t self-host a public web app from my house and instead would use a 4/mo VPS from Hetzner

Man, you are way too afraid dude.

It's YOUR internet connection. Who's going to ban you for opening ports and running a server? I've been doing it with comcast for 20+ years.

Maybe not all my server traffic goes through port 80 or 443, but my server is also my torrent seedbox which is high traffic and just another port. WHATEVER.

My server is just a Windows 7 PC in the living room with no monitor, no keyboard, and no mouse. Only connected power and ethernet. I remotely control it with RealVNC and it's extremely stable. The only time it goes down is a power outage because I don't use a UPS.

I use it for a website (nginx/let's encrypt), Jitsi Meet, Mumble, Ventrilo, FTP, proxy (8080), and of course torrents. Not afraid of port scans.

I use a couple of DDNS domains that I give people but I can disable the public one I give to people and change my IP any time I want.

NOT VPN. NOT Cloud. NOT VPS. NOT pay monthly to someone. You can do it all yourself for free and have been able to for decades. Quit being so scared, cell phone generation.

Your mistake is thinking that it is YOUR internet connection. It's not. It belongs to your ISP. If it belonged to you, you wouldn't have to pay for it every month. A lot of ISPs specifically forbid running a web server from your connection. Comcast is one of them. Among their restricted uses they include:

"use or run dedicated, stand-alone equipment or servers from the Premises that provide network content or any other services to anyone outside of your Premises local area network (“Premises LAN”), also commonly referred to as public services or servers. Examples of prohibited equipment and servers include, but are not limited to, email, web hosting, file sharing, and proxy services and servers;"

Just because you've been getting away with it doesn't mean the risk of having your account suspended isn't real or worth considering.

Unfortunately not everyone may live in a region with multiple internet providers, such that they can switch to a different one if banned.

You pay your internet and electricity, no?
