By purchasing a domain, you can make your server look more professional and make its connection details far easier to remember! The list of recommended domain registrars are as follows:
| | |
However, the guide below will be using Cloudflare's terminology.
Once you have purchased your domain, head over to your registrar and add a new DNS record while selecting A Record
. Then, put any value in the box under Name
and put in the server's numerical IP as the value
it will point to. Remember to leave TTL to automatic
. If you're using Cloudflare, remember to turn the proxy status (orange cloud) off. That's all! Just wait a while until the DNS propagates and you'll be able to join your server with your very own subdomain!
Alternatively, if you do not have a dedicated IP, you can follow these steps. Follow the setup instructions above first to setup A Record
, then add a new DNS record and select SRV
. Your service should be _minecraft
, the protocol TCP
, TTL on auto
, and priority and weight 0
. Replace the port field with the port that your server uses, and replace the target field with the subdomain/domain your server uses - it should be what you set the A Record
to be. You're finished! Now you should be able to connect to your server using anything.example.domainending
- you will also no longer need the port when connecting.
If you do not want to purchase a domain to customise your server join address, you can still do it for free by using our subdomains feature directly in our ! Simply head to the subdomains section on the sidebar and type in whatever you want to let players to connect with (xxx.emberhost.net
).
