Point your domain at your server or website
DNS is managed wherever your domain is registered (or wherever its nameservers point). Log in there and open the DNS records page.
Records you'll use
| Type | Name | Value | Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ |
Server IPv4 address | Root domain → server |
| A | www |
Server IPv4 address | www → server |
| AAAA | @ |
Server IPv6 address | If you have IPv6 |
| CNAME | play |
Another hostname | Alias one name to another |
| MX | @ |
Mail server | Email delivery |
| TXT | varies | Text value | SPF, DKIM, verification |
A CNAME can't sit on the root (@) name — use an A record there.
Steps
- Remove any old A record for the same name.
- Add the new record with the IP from your service details.
- Save and wait. Set a low TTL (300) beforehand if you want changes to spread quickly.
Check it
nslookup yourdomain.com
dig +short yourdomain.com
Online DNS checkers show whether the change has spread worldwide.
Cloudflare
If you use Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only (grey cloud) for game servers and other non-HTTP services — the orange-cloud proxy only carries web traffic.
