Instead of giving players an IP address and port number, you can create a clean subdomain like play.yourserver.gg that’s easy to remember and share.
Creating a Subdomain
1Open Subdomains Tab
Click Subdomains in the sidebar.
2Choose a Name
Enter your desired subdomain name. It will be created under the available domain (e.g., yourname.pexnode.gg).
3Create
Click Create. The subdomain is configured automatically with the correct DNS records.
How It Works
The panel creates an SRV record that maps your subdomain to your server’s IP and port. For Java Edition, players can connect using just the subdomain without specifying a port.
Note: SRV records work natively with Java Edition. Bedrock Edition players may still need to enter the port manually, depending on their client.
Using Your Own Domain
If you own a domain and want to use it (e.g., play.myserver.com), you’ll need to create the DNS records manually at your domain registrar:
Type: SRV
Service: _minecraft
Protocol: TCP
Name: play
Priority: 0
Weight: 5
Port: YOUR_SERVER_PORT
Target: YOUR_SERVER_IP
Service: _minecraft
Protocol: TCP
Name: play
Priority: 0
Weight: 5
Port: YOUR_SERVER_PORT
Target: YOUR_SERVER_IP
Tip: You can have multiple subdomains pointing to the same server, or use different subdomains for different servers.
