[Help] How can I use a VPS to protect my home's ip? (mander.xyz)

I have a nextcloud instance being hosted from my home network. The URL associated with it points directly at my home's IP. I don't want to host the instance on a VPS because disk space is expensive. So, instead, I want to point the URL at the VPS, and then somehow route the connection to my home's nextcloud instance without leaking my home's ip.

How might I go about doing this? Can this be achieved with nginx?

EDIT: Actually, not leaking my home's IP is not essential. It is acceptable if it is possible to determine the IP with some effort. What I really want is to be able to host multiple websites with my single home IP without those websites being obviously connected, and to avoid automatic bots constantly looking for vulnerabilities in my home network.
