Introduction
By purchasing a domain or using one of our whitelabeled domains, 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: GoDaddy | Spaceship | Namecheap | PorkbunA Record Setup (if you have a Dedicated IP)
Setup your domain on Cloudflare (use this article to see how to), and go to the DNS tab after setup. Add a new A record by clickingNew and selecting A Record from the dropdown. Put the subdomain that you’d like to be your connect IP in the Name input. Put your servers **Numerical IP **as the Value . Remember to leave the TTL to automatic, and turn off Cloudflare Proxy by turn the orange cloud to gray.
SRV Record (if you have a Shared IP)
Alternatively you can setup a SRV Record in addition to your A record (yes you’ll need to create both) if you don’t have a:25565 port (aka Dedicated IP). Click New and select SRV Record . Your service should be _minecraft , the protocol should be TCP , TTL should be set on Auto and the weight should be set to 0 . Set the Port to the server’s port (the part after the : in your server’s IP address), and replace the target field with whatever your A Record is (if you set your Name to play and your domain is my-smp.xyz then set your target to play.my-smp.xyz ).
