What path does data take when connecting to a domain at my address? (sh.itjust.works)

I have some subdomains that go to my home address (I know I should put it through a VPS first but I'll get to that when I have time).

If I connect to example.domain.tld and DNS records point back to my own IP, where does that data go to reach back to my device?

Edit: thanks for the responses everyone

Can you set a port on DNS services that don’t typically use an SRV record (like Minecraft does, for example)?

I think I tired to figure this out once but couldn’t get it to work with web browsers. Ended up just looking at the HTTP request to find the subdomain and then routed from a reverse proxy as appropriate…
