There is no easy way right now, but there are options:

1. Try wordpress app to host your content. Access it using wordpress.[domain]

2. Not very good but ok for experiments. Run your own instance of nginx.

Domain name, not everyone may like their default website to be visible under myapp.[domain] and instead you may want something like www.[domain], that is another request pending implementation [Default app · Issue #441 · syncloud/platform · GitHub](https://github.com/syncloud/platform/issues/441)

You could use nginx from platform and provide your own config.

```auto
root@syncloud:~# /snap/platform/current/nginx/sbin/nginx -v     
nginx version: nginx/1.15.12

```

Thank you for your help!

After considering a lot of options, i decided not to host my websites by myself.

To set up a server still is a lot of work with a normal Debian based system or Debian itself.  
Also i got sometimes problems with my router. Often a reset is necessary.

Hardware, Resources, a great network and care about the system by myself is to much to do if i can get cheap web hosting everywhere 🙂

Maybe in the future i will consider it again, but for now i only will use syncloud for my personal data over the web! And for that syncloud is a hell of a good tool!
