How do I use a dedicated IP, and can I attach a domain to it?

Once a dedicated IP is assigned to your server, it works like any hostname you can hand out or point a domain at. Using it is straightforward, and attaching a domain is just a matter of a DNS record or two.

Using your dedicated IP

You can share the IP directly or dress it up with a domain.

1. Use the dedicated IP (with your port if needed) directly as your connection address.
2. To use a domain, create a DNS A record pointing your domain or subdomain at the dedicated IP.
3. For non-standard ports, add an SRV record so players can connect by domain name without typing the port.

Tip: With a dedicated IP on the game's default port, an A record alone is often enough — no SRV record needed.

Attaching a domain

The whole setup lives in your domain's DNS settings.

• Point an A record at the dedicated IP for a clean domain connection.
• Add an SRV record only when you're running on a custom (non-default) port.

Frequently asked questions

Is there documentation for domain pointing? An A record — plus an SRV record for custom ports — pointed at your dedicated IP is the whole setup.

Can I use it like a hostname? Yes — that's exactly the point of a dedicated IP.
