Let your players join with your domain without typing the port, using an SRV record (or an A record).
You can let your players join with your domain instead of an IP and port. You manage your domain's DNS, so you create these records in your DNS panel.
Option 1: SRV record (Minecraft, recommended)
The SRV record lets players connect with just yourdomain.com, without typing the port. Create this record:
- Type: SRV
- Name/Host:
_minecraft._tcp(or_minecraft._tcp.subdomainif you use a subdomain) - Priority: 0 · Weight: 5
- Port: your server's port (you'll see it in the panel)
- Target: your server's address without the port (e.g.
ly02.astrolnodes.net)
Option 2: A record (direct IP)
If you have a dedicated IP or your server uses the default port (25565), create an A record pointing yourdomain.com to your server's IP.
DNS changes can take a while to propagate. Getting tangled up with the records? Open a ticket with your domain and your server's address, and we'll give you the exact values to copy and paste.
