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)
