Need some help with domain name forwarding.

[hawaiizfynest 0]

I have a QNAP NAS and it has emby installed. I already have the ports forwarded so that its accessible via WAN address, i already have a domain on godaddy for it, i just cant figure out how to get this forwarded to my domain. Also, when i update the app on QNAP, it wants me to delete the app and reinstall, will that mess up my config and if so, any tips on what i should do for updates?

Should be OK, but can you show a screenshot of this? Thanks.

yes, do i just make an A record on the domain and add my WAN ip there? what else is needed if so?

Go into DNS management for your domain, create an A record and add your IP address for it.

 

If you want a sub-domain, create a CNAME record and add your hostname, then the domain+period.
