Network Allocations, Ports & Domains

Every hosted instance comes assigned with dedicated IP address allocations and network ports.

Managing Network Allocations​

  1. Go to the Network tab in your server navigation.
  2. You will see a list of IP addresses and ports assigned to your server instance.
  3. The port marked as Primary is the default port your Minecraft server or Discord bot uses to listen for incoming connections.

Setting Up Subdomains / SRV Records​

To allow players to connect using a custom domain (e.g., play.yourdomain.com instead of an IP address):

Minecraft Java Edition (SRV Record Setup)​

  1. Log into your domain registrar's DNS panel (e.g., Cloudflare, Namecheap).
  2. Create an A Record:
  • Name: mc
  • IPv4 address: Your server node IP address (without the port).
  1. Create an SRV Record:
  • Service: _minecraft
  • Protocol: _tcp
  • Name: play (or @ for root domain)
  • Priority: 0
  • Weight: 5
  • Port: Your assigned server primary port
  • Target: mc.yourdomain.com
