Doesn’t exist. You’ll need a VPS to be able to configure NGINX manually.
@doghouch
i know nginx, but it's not must be nginx. maybe apache httpd can do the same, but i don't know the feature name.
in apache httpd maybe called reverse_proxy (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html)
i want to forward request from (let say) https://www.example.com to http://bla.blehbleh.pip.pop.example.com:8080 , but user who visit www.example.com didn't know if the web content is from http://bla.blehbleh.pip.pop.example.com:8080
hope it make my requirement clearer
You can not configure proxy_pass or anything similar without access to the configuration file that hosts your domain. In addition to that, Apache will not pass anything through .htaccess.
i see, thank you @doghouch
You can do it with PHP as long as your shared hosting does not block fsockopen() function.
Example - https://github.com/eslachance/php-transparent-proxy/
Go with BunnyCDN @BunnySpeed
It will do the url hiding, but a bit more expensive ($1.25/mo/250G transfer) and no DB.
ref link is on my sig if you want to try out
thank you for the suggestion @exception0x876 & @sanvit
Maybe some litespeed shared host can do something similar to proxypass in nginx.
@dedipromo if they do, hope they came here
Namecheap claims to enable it on shared: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9787/22/apache-modules-installed-on-shared-hosting-servers
I wouldn't rule it out generically. You can do some great things in .htaccess that people don't think to try.
Provided AuthConfig is generally 'all', of course. Usually it's much stricter than that, and you end up with a failure and no error logs with which to see what isn't working.
From experience (250 active shared hosting accounts), NGINX hosting without Apache as a backend is as rare as hen's teeth, and about 50% of the time you'll be able to use the [P] flag in .htaccess.
You'd be better off using a VPS or your own script to forward requests, the former being easier and not requiring a custom solution..
With your budget you're looking at a needle in a haystick, which may ultimately be shite hosting anyways
thank you everyone, it seem VPS is the best solution. i'll think hard about vps.
how to close/end the discussion ?
hope this works
Yeah, it works alright.
Try an $8/year LET deal VPS. Or even better, get a $2/year NAT VPS from @cam (https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/126920/gullo-s-hosting-germany-and-canada-2-year-vps-hosting) and then use a free cloudflare account to point it to the IPv6 address. Then you can do whatever you like. I doubt you could find any decent web host for a total of $2 per year with 3GB of space that isn't on a shared cPanel account
I'm doing this with Cam's NAT services and Cloudflare to run a small request gateway and it's been great.
