Nah you probably need to understand DNS and reverse proxies first. I recommend something like nginx, traefik or Caddy with ACME certificates from Letsencrypt with the DNS-01 challenge on a supported hosting provider which allows DNS changes via API.
If I were you I’d probably even get a super cheap VPS and run the chat software there, just be aware you need to constantly patch everything.
