I’m not familiar with enough, I use Albyhub, but I did write an article about vanity addresses:

If you have your own domain and optionally run a node, then you can consolidate your email address, NIP-05 and Lightning address to yourname@yourdomain

Here’s how to do it.

First NIP-05

Want your NIP-5 to be: yourname@yourdomain

Copy this nostr.json file from here: https://mikehardcastle.com/.well-known/nostr.json

Replace the "mike" with your own name. Replace the string to the right with the hex of your npub.

You can obtain the hex of your npub here: https://nostrcheck.me/converter/

Also replace the string at the top of the relay list with your hex npub.

Then replace the relays at the bottom with your primary relays (just 3 or 4 primary relays are needed).

Be careful not to change commas, quotes, brackets etc....

Upload the "nostr.json" file to your web server, making sure it is in the directory:

/.well-known

at the root of your HTML content

Then your NIP-05 will be:

yourname@yourdomain

Lightning Address, optionally routing to your own node:

If you have your own domain, have an Alby account and want your Lightning payment address to be yourname@yourdomain then follow this guide: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-account/use-your-lightning-address/own-domain

If you run your own lightning node, or have always wanted to self sovereign your own Sats, then follow this guide: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/getting-started

If you run an Umbrel or Start9, you can run Alby Hub directly from your node: https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/v/alby-account-and-browser-extension/alby-hub/alby-hub-flavors/umbrel-start9-etc
