Proxy Overview

What is a Reverse Proxy?

A reverse proxy sits between your users and your backend services. It handles incoming requests and forwards them to the correct server.

Why Use It?

  • SSL Termination - Handles HTTPS certificates so your app doesn't have to
  • Load Balancing - Distribute traffic across multiple servers
  • Security - Hide your backend IPs and add DDoS protection
  • Custom Domains - Route multiple domains to different services

How NoobHost Proxy Works

  1. Your domain points to NoobHost's proxy infrastructure
  2. The proxy receives incoming requests
  3. Based on your configuration, requests are forwarded to the correct backend
  4. Responses are returned to the user

Getting Started

  1. Go to Reverse Proxy in your dashboard
  2. Click New Proxy Config
  3. Enter your domain and backend target
  4. SSL is automatically provisioned
