I am trying to host my first website + service.

#My server setup

I have a static webpage in server 1. A gotosocial installation in server 2. They are connected to a reverse proxy (server 3). This has a public IP of (not exact) 204.230.30.104.

#My router setup

I can open ports 80 and 443. I just don't know to which IP (I'll explain why down).

#My registrar

In have a domain, say 'newexample.com'. The @ has an A record for the IP (not exact) 208.145.80.33

#My confusion

1. If I want to make a subdomin for GoToSocial like 'gts.social.new example.com', do I use CNAME or A record?
2. If I want to serve the static website to be served at 'www.newexample.com' , do I remake an A record for www.newexample.com ?
3. There appears to be a CNAME in my DNS record already by the registrar for www that goes to some "redirect" link. What's up with that?
4. How do I make the domain connect to my server and how to make the server connect to my domain properly?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The world's biggest social media companies face several landmark trials this year that seek to hold them responsible for harms to children who use their platforms. Opening statements for the first, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, began on Monday.

Instagram's parent company Meta and Google's YouTube face claims that their platforms deliberately addict and harm children. TikTok and Snap, which were originally named in the lawsuit, settled for undisclosed sums.

Jurors got their first glimpse into what will be a lengthy trial characterized by dueling narratives from the plaintiffs and the two remaining social media companies named as defendants. Opening arguments in the landmark case began Monday at the Spring Street Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles.

Mark Lanier delivered the opening statement for the plaintiffs first, in a lively display where he said the case is as "easy as ABC," which he said stands for "addicting the brains of children." He called Meta and Google "two of the richest corporations in history" who have "engineered addiction in children's brains."

At the core of the Los Angeles case is a 19-year-old identified only by the initials "KGM," whose case could determine how thousands of other, similar lawsuits against social media companies will play out. She and two other plaintiffs have been selected for bellwether trials — essentially test cases for both sides to see how their arguments play out before a jury and what damages, if any, may be awarded, said Clay Calvert, a nonresident senior fellow of technology policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

A Call to Conscience
Stop Donald Trump’s Cruel Assault Against the Cuban People
Sign Now

[OUT TODAY: Public figures, elected officials, artists & orgs—incl. 22 NYC Council Members, Mark Ruffalo, Kal Penn, Susan Sarandon, Alice Walker, & others—have signed a Call to Conscience demanding an end to Trump’s assault on Cuba.]

US President Donald Trump is trying to induce a famine in Cuba. Mass starvation and human suffering in Cuba is the goal of Trump’s latest ‘emergency’ Executive Order preventing Cuba, an island nation, from importing oil or any energy sources needed to survive. It is a cynical and crude ploy to distract public opinion from the issues at home that are eliciting mass public dissent, and as we’ve seen with Venezuela, a precursor to an illegal military attack.

We, along with millions of people in the United States and around the world, reject this inhumane act against the people of Cuba. This is not a policy of national security; it is a deliberate act of economic warfare aimed at strangling an entire population.

As Russian strikes continue to cut off heating and electricity across Ukraine, a Kyiv doctor says she is seeing health effects accumulate in her clinic.

Since late December, Russia has carried out multiple waves of strikes targeting Ukraine's power generation and heating infrastructure. In Kyiv, those attacks have repeatedly disrupted heating across large parts of the city.

On Jan. 9, a major attack left roughly 6,000 residential buildings without heat. Further strikes on Jan. 20 and Jan. 24 again cut heating to thousands of homes. The most recent attack on Feb. 3 left over 1,100 apartment buildings without heating, with temperatures reaching -25°C outside. Two thermal power plants have stopped operating, according to Ukrenergo CEO Vitaliy Zaichenko.

Prolonged exposure to cold doesn't cause illness directly, according to Hanna Serova, a general practitioner at Kyiv's Dobrobut medical network. Instead, it weakens the body's defenses over time.

. . .

When the body is exposed to cold for extended periods, it diverts energy to maintaining core temperature, leaving less capacity to fight off infections. Disrupted sleep — common when people are cold or worried about outages — further compromises immune function, as the body produces fewer infection-fighting cells during poor rest. Sustained stress from living in these conditions adds another layer of strain.

European nations wanting “insurance” against Russia are looking to France and Britain to share their nuclear deterrents.

European countries that spent decades sheltering under America’s nuclear umbrella are now openly discussing a new form of protective alliance against Russia built around French and possibly British atomic weapons.

It’s a direct response to Donald Trump eroding confidence in NATO’s Article 5 common defense pledge by trashing allies, questioning U.S. commitments and turbocharging doubts with threats to seize Greenland.

Leaders in Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands — some of Europe’s most pro-American countries — have publicly confirmed in recent days that they're holding conversations about a European nuclear deterrent to complement the American version.

According to the IOM’s Missing Migrants Project, more than 1,300 people have gone missing on the dangerous central Mediterranean route in 2025. The latest incident brings the number of refugees and migrants reported dead or missing on the route this year to at least 484.

“IOM data show that in January alone, at least 375 migrants were reported dead or missing following multiple ‘invisible’ shipwrecks in the Central Mediterranean amid extreme weather, with hundreds more deaths believed to be unrecorded,” the statement said.

“These repeated incidents underscore the persistent and deadly risks faced by migrants and refugees attempting the dangerous crossing.”

On July 9, 2017, just three days after Modi’s official visit to Israel, Epstein wrote an email claiming the Prime Minister had taken his advice. In the message, Epstein asserted that Modi had “danced and sang” in Israel for the benefit of U.S. President Trump, concluding that the plan had worked.

Just three days before, on July 6th, Modi had shared a “romantic walk” on Olga Beach in Haifa, Israel. It was the first time ever that an Indian Prime Minister had visited Israel, smashing any remnants of Indian post-colonial solidarity with Palestine.

Later, in 2019, Epstein encouraged Steve Bannon to meet with Modi to counter China. Epstein chats have shown US bigotry behind the escalating war against China.
