Custom Subdomains & SRV Records

A subdomain allows players to connect to your server using a memorable name (e.g., play.myserver.com) instead of a numerical IP address.

How to Create a Subdomain

1. Select your server and navigate to the Settings tab.
2. Locate the Subdomain section.
3. Enter your desired identifier in the text box.
4. Click to save. The system will automatically configure the necessary DNS records.

SRV Records

For supported games (like Minecraft), our system automatically generates an SRV Record alongside your subdomain.

• What it does: An SRV record tells the game client exactly which port to use.
• Benefit: This means your players can join using just the subdomain (e.g., play.myserver.com) without having to type the port number (e.g., :25565) at the end!

⚠️ Platform Restrictions

To maintain network stability and prevent DNS abuse, the following rules apply:

• Change Limit: You can only update your subdomain once every 24 hours.
• Free Trials: Subdomain customization is not available for Free Trial servers.

Connecting

Once set, players can use this new address immediately. While usually instant, global DNS propagation may take up to 30 minutes in some regions.
