Access R Shiny application not with an IP

I have developed a R Shiny app and hosted on a local intranet server and my colleagues are able to access it using the IP:Port no like http://192.168.135.146:5050/

But what if I need to replace this with a name like myshinyapp.com. I know I am missing something very trivial, pls help. Thanks

1) Edit hosts file

For Windows7 users go to your IT and ask them to edit the hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc.

2) Get your IP address from ipconfig using cmd

3) Insert a new line to DNS like so:

enter image description here

You should be able to access your app by name then

Alternatevly install nginx or apache2 on your shiny-server
