Prerequisites
To be able to point a custom domain to your Minecraft server, you must first own a domain. We recommend using our domain registrar at: https://cloudnord.net/domain-names to do this, but there are plenty other alternatives online. In this guide, we will go over using CloudFlare to use a custom domain in Minecraft - the process is roughly the same for all hosts!
Guide using Cloudflare
- First, create an account on Cloudflare
- Add the site to Cloudflare by following this guide: https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/get-started/setup/add-site/. The site to add is the same as the domain you just purchased.
- Head to the DNS tab on Cloudflare:
- Press "Add Record" and select:
- Type: SRV
- Name: _minecraft._tcp.<your_subdomain>
- Priority: 10
- Weight: 10
- Target: Ask staff for the target via ticket
And then "Save". - Your Minecraft server should be reachable on the configured address within an hour. It may take a bit of time for it to start working :)
