Using an SRV record for Minecraft
If you want both your Minecraft server and Named Hosting to function the same domain, you can use an SRV record.
- Your root domain and www. subdomain should point to NamedHosting
- You should create a separate subdomain for your Minecraft server, like
play. - You should create an SRV record on your root domain, pointing to your subdomain.
Example
Named Hosting records:
| Type | Name | Target |
