Custom IP for Minecraft Server with NameCheap

Hello there everybody today’s video is going to be updated how to add a domain name to your minecraft server i did make this video a while ago but a few things have been changed so i just wanted to address it in a new video so we’re going to be using namecheap

To add our domain and this is paid domains if you guys want to check out free domains you can look at the video on the top right hand corner of the screen that will take you to my other video of using freenom but this is namecheap so you do have to

Purchase the domain you can check out my link and down in the description for namecheap and then we can go ahead and search our domain name that we want so this is whatever you have your name for your minecraft server for the example i’m going to do like a strikinglands or something

All right so that would be searching up your domain name and then you can check if it’s available this one is so here’s a com and here’s net so these are the most common ones down here and so sometimes they are a bit cheaper because they’re off off-brand domains

But once you have bought your specific domain you can go to your account manager and then here is that specific domain and we can go to manage and so then we need to go to advanced dns tab and this is where you’re going to be adding all your specific records for your server

If you already have a few and here by default when you buy the domain you can go ahead and delete those because you do not need them and then we need to go to add new record so we can add an a record and then the host

The name in here you can put in like mc or you could put in play or something along those lines so that would indicate the play before your domain so you do play.mctest.xyz that would be your specific domain name that you would enter to your minecraft server if you don’t

Want to have anything before you could just do the at symbol and then you could just use your base domain name to enter your server so i’m going to do two examples of each just to show you guys how you can do it so we’ll start off with

Just the at symbol then the value is going to be your specific ip address of your minecraft server so i’m using revive node here if you want to check them out you can use my code striker to save 15 off your purchases at revived so make sure you go check it

Out if you do need a minecraft server so here we have our specific ip address and go ahead and click it and it will copy that for us and then we can paste that in and then you need to remove the port because it only accepts the

Normal ipv4 address and then that would be good if you you have a dedicated ip or the default port of two five five six five you’re pretty much done at this point you just need to put in your ip address and click save and you’re pretty much

Set um but in my case i do not have a two five five six five port so we need to add another record and so this is going to be the srv record so you can scroll down click srv and then this is going to be a

Little bit tricky but just follow along with my steps the service is going to be underscore minecraft the protocol is going to be underscore tcp priority is going to be zero uh weight can be zero and then the port is going to be the port of our server so this is two

One nine two in our case so that you would put in the port of your specific minecraft server so 2 192 is mine and then the target so the target is going to be your specific domain name that you have so this would be mc test uh

Wii.xyz go ahead and just input the target all right there and hit save changes so once these have been saved it will take about maybe 10-15 minutes for it to register so they are not immediate so just be patient and wait for them to finish registering and then you can enter it to

Your minecraft but i’m going to be adding my second example so the second example is going to be a little bit different so this one is going to be using a subdomain so i’m going to do a play so this would be play.mctest xyz so now i pretty much just do the same

Thing here’s the ip address yes we’ll click save so now we need the add the second srv record as well so the service is going to be the same underscore minecraft and then the protocol is going to be different so pay attention to this guys so it’s going to be underscore tcp and

Then we need a dot and then play so the play represents whatever sub domain and the a record that you have the reason that this this first one that we added doesn’t have anything is because we’re using the at symbol which represents just the base domain name

So if you were to change uh the first a record to mc you would also need to change this tcp to mc so these have to match guys so be aware of that so i’m going to change this back to play and then we can just

Do play right here same thing is going to be priority zero weight zero and then import same port for me two one nine two your target is going to be your base domain with the the play in front of it or whatever name that you had so this would be

Play dot and then our domain name so mctest.xyz so there we go so then as you see right here play is in front of it so all that needs to match if this again if this was mc then this would on the tcp would need to change the mc

And then the very beginning right here of the target would need to change the mc so now everything is matched so we got play here play there and play there so now we can save all changes and that is our second a record as well as srv so now we can

Just wait a few minutes and test it out on our minecraft today’s video sponsor is the sungata marketplace if you are looking for any type of unique or custom plugin for your minecraft server there is quite a bit of selection over there so make sure you guys go check them out

Using the link down in the description and you can find some great plugins for your server already back on our minecraft we can go ahead and test out our domain name now so here is the number ipi added this is just the the base one and just make sure everything is working

Now we can click add server i’m just going to call this a domain name and then now we can actually input our specific domain now so mine is just and let’s see and there we go that is actually bringing it up so now our domain is registered let’s go

Ahead and check uh to make sure that the other one is working so that would be play dot and then our domain name and go ahead and test out so all those are working perfectly so let’s go ahead and join this one and we’ll see what happens

And there we go we just joined the server perfect and now our second one this is the one with play and let’s go ahead and join and add a second one and see what that is looking like and there we go we just joined the game so that is working perfectly guys so

Hope you did enjoy let me know if you have any questions down below i will see you guys in the next video have yourselves a wonderful holiday peace out You
