Link a domain name to my router's public IP – Apache

I have a raspberry pi that i use as a web server. I have an Apache server and I use my router’s public address to access to my website.

Can i pay for a domain name and “link” it to my router’s public IP ? Or will i always have to type the IP to go to my website ?

EDIT : thanks to the answers, i managed to do it. on ionos, you have to go on the dns settings of your domaine name and add your router ip for the ‘A’ type record for both ‘@’ and ‘www’. you will also have to add a domain name in your apache or nginx server to avoid the ip to appear in the user’s web browser.

    Yes to point your domain name to an IP address you can create an A Record.

    Sure, Your computer is treated the same as any server, a few things you should do to make it work.

    • Get a static IP. You need this so your domain will be pointing to the same IP always.
    • Point your domain to the IP you got (with an A record)
    • port forward your web port (80, 443, 8080 or any other port used by your web server) to the internal computer IP (192.168.X.X, 10.0.0.X, or any other)
