Before we begin, you are going to require a domain to point the server to (yourdomain.com), please ensure that you have purchased a domain prior to following these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also require a dedicated IP address for your server, so ensure that you’ve purchased one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t currently have a dedicated IP address, you can purchase one via the Upgrade menu in your client area. 

1) Mapping a bare domain (yourdomain.com<\/strong>) to your Minecraft server

– Create an A record <\/strong>that actually points your domain to the server;

In this case, use these values for your A record:

Host <\/strong>: @
Value<\/strong>: IP address of your Minecraft server
TTL<\/strong>:  You may leave this option unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For CloudFlare, you would configure your DNS like this;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now you can use your domain name\u00a0in\u00a0the Minecraft client to join your server!
