Use your own domain with a Minecraft server

Domains & DNS 1 min read Updated Sep 25, 2026

Use your own domain with a Minecraft server

If you already own a domain you can use it instead of our subdomain tool (Point a subdomain at your server).

Find your address

Your server's IP and port are in the Console or Network tab.

Simple option: A record (default port)

If the server uses port 25565, add:

Type Name Value
A play Your server IP

Players join with play.yourdomain.com.

Custom port: SRV record

If the port isn't 25565, add an SRV record so players still don't need to type it:

Field Value
Service _minecraft
Protocol _tcp
Name play
Priority / Weight 0 / 5
Port Your server port
Target play.yourdomain.com (which must have an A record)

Notes

  • Bedrock does not use SRV records; players need the port.
  • Wait for DNS to spread before testing.
  • On Cloudflare, keep these records DNS only.
