The actual business of domain names is complicated and not something I understand all that well. But setting up a domain name to point to an IP address is typically easy, once you've chosen a domain registrar (just search that online and you'll find a ton) and name you like. Be aware that shorter names are rarer and usually more expensive and different TLDs (like ".net" and ".io") will be priced differently.

Once you have a domain name, you'll need to set up a DNS record. Again, this varies a bit based on the provider, but all will have some kind of text input of API where you can edit DNS records. You'll want to make two records

The reason for the second record is in case you want to set subdomains on the same IP address like "git.mjfer.net".

Wait a few minutes for the DNS servers to update and you should now be able access your server by name.
