Try it on our servers

We keep two servers open, one in Germany and one in Miami. Join from Java or Bedrock, on whatever version you run, and see how they perform before paying for anything.

If after the trial you decide it's not for you, you pay nothing. If you keep it, billing starts the next day at the regular price.

How to point your domain to your server (Minecraft SRV record)

Domains 6 views Updated 2 Aug 2026

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.

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.subdomain if 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.
