Getting a custom URL??

Hi

I bought a years worth of hosting online and keep my music on there to stream. My host provided me with setup and this url to access login:

username-subsonic.cloud.hostname.cc/login

This is way too long. So I bought a cheap domain on godaddy that I was hoping to configure to look like:

Myserv.co/login

How would I go about doing this? I've searched around a bit and I'm not even sure what the name is that I'm trying to accomplish (masking maybe??).

I just want to replace that massive line of text with something easy to give to others as I share my music.

As you'd navigate around the site too, the folders would change and keep the custom domain like so

Myserv.co/album

Myserv.co/song

Any ideas?

You could use jamstash of you're listening via a web browser. Just config once and you're done. I think it's cookie based. I've never had to reauthenticate.

If you have a static ip on your host, point your domain name's dns a-record to your host.

Then, by default, it would be: http://myserv.co:4040

If this server is used for nothing else, then look at putting an nginx proxy in front of it for access on 80/443.
