Connect a domain:

 

Before we continue, You will need:

- Any plan.

- A domain. We recommend purchasing from NameCheap or Porkbun.

 


 

1. Login to our panel and navigate to your server.

2. Find your server's IP and port at the top left of your game panel.

3. Afterward, access your DNS provider's control panel and navigate to the 'Records' or 'DNS Records' tab and create an 'A Record'

In the field enter:

 

Host/Name - play

IP Address - The IP we copied earlier without the port, such as "5.9.117.55"

And keep the TTL as Automatic

4. Next, you should create an SRV record if you do not have the '25565' port as Minecraft will not allow you to connect otherwise without specifying the port. :

In the field enter:

Service - _minecraft

Protocol - _tcp

Priority - 5

Weight - 0

Port - Your server's port

Target - play.[your_domain]

(Note: For the target you need to enter the same domain name as your A Record such as "play.ehost.cc").

5. Now you have access to your server through "play.[your_domain]" without needing to specify the port! Please note that you might not be able to connect to the domain for 24-48 hours due to DNS Propagation.
