IP and domains

How to configure domain on Cloudflare
Make sure to have purchased a domain with your registrar. 

 1. A Record 

 When on Cloudflare, on the left you got a sidebar, click on DNS and then go to "Records" 

 

 Then create your A record 

 In the " type " box select " A " 

 In the " Name " slot you can put numbers, letters or " @ " 

 You may be wondering what is the name slot, we can say it's your domain prefix. 

 Example : I own Example.net, if I set "name" to  play I have to put play.example.net to join my minecraft server 

 Else, if I put @ in there, I can join with example.net 

 In " IPv4 " slot you will put your server's numerical ip 

 You may be wondering "how do I find it, it's showing a subdomain" to which I will answer with: there is this tutorial 

 

 2. SRV Record 

 You may want to set this up if your port is  not 25565 

 Create a second record 

 Make sure the "Type" is SRV and not A 

 In the "name" slot you use the following line:  _minecraft._tcp. followed by your subdomain or domain if you are going to use one (in the picture below, the subdomain is  myserver ) 

 " TTL " should be " Auto " 

 " Priority " should be a low number e.g. 0 or 1 

 " Weight " should be below 5 

 " Port " is your server port, which can be found  in the console 

 "Target" has to be set to your domain/alias shown in the panel (view picture below for an example)

How to get numeric IPv4
As you might have noticed in your Panel, your server does not contain a IPv4 ,just an alias which could look like e-de-001.alienhost.net while this is easier to read and remember it is unfortunately not always usable in certain configurations and settings, with this guide we will show you how to use the given  alias  and turn it into numeric IPv4: 

 

 Navigate to the following website . 

 You will be prompted with a screen similar to this:

 Great! Now you have your IPv4 and you are ready to use it.
