📋 Prerequisites
Before starting, ensure you have the following:
- Your server's IP address (e.g.,
123.456.78.9). - Your server's Port (e.g.,
25565). - Access to your domain name's DNS Management panel.
🛠️ Step 1: Create the A Record
The A Record points your subdomain to the physical IP address of your server.
- Navigate to your domain's DNS settings.
- Add a new record with these parameters:
- Type:
A - Name (Host):
play(for an address likeplay.domain.com) - Value (Target):
Your Server IP - TTL:
Autoor3600
- Type:
🛠️ Step 2: Create the SRV Record
The SRV Record allows the game to automatically detect your server's port so players don't have to type it manually.
Add a second record with these settings:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Service | _hytale |
| Protocol | _tcp |
| Name/Host | play |
| Priority | 0 |
| Weight | 5 |
| Port | YOUR_PORT (e.g., 25565) |
| Target | play.yourdomain.com |
⏳ Step 3: Propagation
Once saved, DNS changes can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours to take effect worldwide.
!TIP You can track the status of your domain using tools like DNSChecker.
