Why choose our domain services
Domain FAQ
Choosing a domain for a gaming community
Pick something people can say out loud in a voice chat and type correctly first time. Short beats clever, and hyphens and creative spellings cause more mistyped connections than they are worth. Extensions matter less than they used to: .com still carries the most recognition, while .gg, .net and .io are all well understood by players. If your community already has a name, register the matching domain even if you are not ready to build anything, because names get taken and the annual cost is small.
Pointing a domain at your game server
A domain does not host anything by itself. It maps a name to an address, and you control that mapping through DNS records at whichever registrar holds the domain. For most games you create an A record pointing a subdomain at your server address, then players connect using that name and the port. Minecraft is the useful exception: an SRV record can carry the port as well, so players type only play.yourdomain.com. Changes usually propagate within minutes, though caching can stretch that to a few hours.
Maps a name such as play.yourdomain.com to your server address. This is the record most games need.
Used by Minecraft to publish the port alongside the address, so players connect without typing a port number.
One domain can serve a website, a game server and a voice server by pointing separate subdomains at each.
DNS changes are usually visible in minutes, but old records can stay cached with some providers for several hours.
Registration, renewal and ownership
A domain is rented rather than bought, normally in one-year terms. The registrant details you supply are what prove ownership, so keep the email address on the registration reachable, because that is where renewal and transfer notices go. WHOIS privacy hides those details from public lookups without affecting your ownership. Auto-renewal is the single most effective protection against losing a name. If you register a domain and then move it, note that most extensions cannot be transferred again within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer.
