Getting started

Using your own domain

You can hide the port and use a clean address like play.yourdomain.com.

Minecraft (Java)

Add two DNS records at your domain provider:

  1. A record — name: mc (or anything), value: your node’s IP (shown in the panel next to your server address).
  2. SRV record — service: _minecraft, protocol: _tcp, name: play, priority 0, weight 5, port: your server port, target: mc.yourdomain.com.

Wait a few minutes for DNS to propagate, then connect with play.yourdomain.com — no port needed.

Bedrock, and other games

Most other games don’t support SRV records. Use an A record plus the port (yourdomain.com:25565), or keep using the nodeN.frizzlenhost.com:port address.

Troubleshooting

  • Use an online SRV checker to confirm the record.
  • Make sure the A record isn’t proxied (no Cloudflare orange cloud) — game traffic can’t go through a web proxy.
