Website hosted on LAN not accessible
I have a webserver setup on a Raspberry PI within my LAN along with a free domain with A records pointing to my IP, I can access the website from my phone using 4G but the only way I can access my website on my LAN is by going to the internal IP of my Raspberry PI. Is there any way round this?

You have to enable port forwarding in your router.

you can use the raspberry pi's hostname. you can check the pi's hostname by entering "cat /etc/hostname" in the command line (assuming you use a linux distro). remove the quotes. if the primary primary dns for your network is the router then you can enter http://hostname and it should take you to your server.
