apparently you need to setup the DNS A records for your domains, so that the sites obviously don't timeout upon request, before you can get certificates for them

This is done from your domain registrar. There are thousands domain registrars and managers, so I can't help you there. If you tell me where did you register your domain, I could look it up

Goddady is the registrar of the domain I'm using to test this.

I've already set the A record on there to my public IP address. However, it doesn't seem to be directing queries to the test website I have on my server.

Notably, I set up a DHCP reservation for my PC's internal IP, and also set up dynamic DNS for my router via noip.com since my router is assigning internal IPs dynamically and my ISP is, I believe, assigning dynamic IPs externally. So one of my questions is: I should be using the dynamic DNS address (i.e. myhostname.ddns.net), right?

Don't I need to change the name server addresses on Godaddy too?

I don't know why it's not redirecting to my website :/

I'm having trouble to keep up with your comments scattered all around my posts. Let's continue the whole discussion here. If you are trying to setup a server to your home connection, your provider might have the port 80 blocked.

If you are trying to access port 80 from within your network using your public IP (= your domain), it may not work, as some routers do not do this. Try to access your server via the domain from a different network (for example, the WiFi of a neighboor, or mobile data)

Edit: and ifyou have a dynamic IP, and a subdomain that is getting updated, then you should setup a CName from your domain to the DNS subdomain that gets updated with your dynamic IP
