Domains

Introduction

Buy purchasing a domain, you can make your server look more professional and make it's connection details far easier to remember! The list of recommended domain registrars are as follows:

Cloudflare | GoDaddy | Namecheap | Porkbun

However, the guide below will be using Namecheap's terminology.

A Record Setup

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 host and put in the server's numerical IP as the value it will point to. Remember to leave TTL to automatic. 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!

SRV Setup

Alternatively, if you do not have a dedicated IP, you can 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 IP/subdomain/domain your server uses. 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.
