If you want a lightning address at your own domain name with minimal legwork, it's as simple as setting up a 302 redirect to your actual wallet's LNURL.

Eg. If you want to use zap@yourdomain.com instead of ident123@walletofsatoshi.com then you would setup a 302 redirect from https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/lnurlp/zap to https://walletofsatoshi.com/.well-known/lnurlp/ident123.

If Cloudflare is your registrar this doesn't cost a penny and it's trivial to configure. The only downside is that the real destination identifier may be displayed when someone tries to pay you (this could look suspicious), but this problem also exists with more involved 'solutions' such as using a reverse proxy (nginx). (Although if you go that route you could just rewrite the proxied JSON data and change the message.)
