Can I get a "dedicated port" so I run on a specific port like 25565?
There's no dedicated-port product — we don't sell "dedicated ports" as an add-on. If you want to run on a specific standard port like 25565, or otherwise need dedicated network access, the answer is an additional dedicated IP.
Why a dedicated IP, not a "dedicated port"
A dedicated IP gives you your own address, so you're free to use the default port.
- We don't sell dedicated ports as an add-on.
- If you want a clean address on a standard port (or otherwise need dedicated network access), get an additional dedicated IP ($4/month per IP) — with your own IP you can run on the game's default port and skip sharing a port number.
- Additional general port allocations (for web maps, extra services) are free from the Ports tab.
Tip: A dedicated IP is the way to get default-port, no-port-number connections — that's what replaces the idea of a "dedicated port."
Extra ports for services
If you just need more ports for side services, that's separate and free.
- Add general port allocations from the Ports tab at no cost.
- These are for things like web maps or extra services, not for claiming a specific standard port on a shared IP.
