...so... how i point this to my ip public?

i select in manage, "use default nameservers" and click on "MANAGE DNS" and write this:

this is all i have to do??

Is the first time im doing this so i dont know if what im doing is the correct.

Also i ping to may domain and ping dont respond nothing.

ping 2424246.xyz

Do you have port 80 and 443 forwarded from your router? Do you have nginx or similar set up to handle those requests? Those are the next steps.

Forward 80 and 443 to your device's local IP and use nginx to specify what domain requests to to what service.

Example:
Overseerr hosted on 192.168.1.44:5055. Nginx server receives a request from overseerr.examplesite.com. Nginx forwards that request to 192.168.1.44:5055.
