As I understand, it can be done through the .htaccess file on my website’s root directory, but the tutorials I’ve seen are all about redirecting web traffic and that hasn’t helped me.

**HOLY SHIT, GUYS — I GOT IT WORKING!** ⚡️🤯
Someone, please test by paying any amount to **dmnyc@dmnyc.net**
How’d you get it working? 😅
Turns out, I was overthinking it. Your Lightning Address is just pointing to a file location on a webserver. Even though it *looks* like an email address, it’s actually just something your wallet uses to point at your LNURL.
So, for example, if you have an address like:
`funkychicken69@walletofsatoshi.com`
it’s pointing to a location called:
`https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/funkychicken69`
If you have your own HTTP server (mine runs Apache), you would simply add the following line to your .htaccess file:
`Redirect /.well-known/lnurlp/[name] https://www.walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/funkychicken69`
Replace [name] with the name in your NIP-05 address before the @ symbol, and edit the path to your Lightning Address.
If you’re using Alby, your address would be:
`https://getalby.com/lnurlp/[name]`
*Voilà!*

Oh wow. Easier than I thought. Finally read it, sounds easy peasy (might try that at some point)
Minor correction: Your Alby address would look like:
Someone mind tipping me a few sats to see if this worked. Think i got it working with traefik
Amazing. I’ve never seen this documented. So much simpler than other methods.
Also, with Alby, either `/lnurlp/[username]` or `/.well-known/lnurlp/[username]` will work. Just tried both.
Woohoo! 🤙
I have to thank #[5] for setting me on the right path to understanding this. 🤙
