Setting Up a Custom Play Domain for Minecraft (SRV and A Record)


Here’s how to set up your own domain name for your Minecraft server.


1. Go to your web hosting package. (If you don't have a web hosting package, use Cloudflare.com! Check out the guide here.)

2. Navigate to DNS Management.

3. Add the following record:


Record type: A

Name: play

Value: Your service’s IP (if you can't find it, contact us!)

TTL: 3600

Save it!


4. Now, add another record:


Record type: SRV

Name: _minecraft._tcp.play

TTL: 3600

Priority: 0

Weight: 5

Port: Your Minecraft server port (can be found on the Allocations page at https://game.ping64.net/)

Value: play.yourdomain.extension (replace yourdomain.extension with your chosen domain!)


Save this as well!


You have now created both an A and SRV record. It may take a few hours for everything to start working!
