Can I buy a domain directly from HumbleServers, or must I get one elsewhere?

You bring your own domain — HumbleServers doesn't currently sell domains, but every server gets a free address (<short ID>.humbleservers.net). The good news is that pointing a domain you own at your server is completely free; there's nothing extra to pay us for it.

Getting a domain

Buy a domain from any registrar — Namecheap, Cloudflare, Porkbun, and similar all work fine. Once you own it, you control its DNS.

Pointing it at your server

1. Add an A record mapping your chosen host (e.g. play) to your server IP, without the port.
2. If your server uses a custom port, add an SRV record as well.
3. Wait for DNS to propagate, then test with play.yourdomain.com.

Tip: If you'd rather not buy a domain, use your server's free .humbleservers.net address — it's shown on the server's page and in My Servers, and you can change it to a custom name (e.g. survival.humbleservers.net) with the pen beside the address.

Frequently asked questions

Does pointing my domain cost anything on your side? No. Pointing a domain you own at your server is free.

Do you offer a free subdomain? Yes — every server automatically gets a free address, <short ID>.humbleservers.net (the first 8 characters of the server's ID). You can change it to a custom name with the pen beside the address on the server's page, up to 3 times per 30 days.
