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

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

    • Getting Started

  • Go to Reverse Proxy in your dashboard
  • Click New Proxy Config
  • Enter your domain and backend target
  • SSL is automatically provisioned
