To point a domain or subdomain to a Minecraft server<\/a><\/b> at Hostinger, create the A record (or an A and a CNAME record) for your domain or subdomain, then add a _minecraft._tcp<\/code> SRV record. Players can then join your Game Panel server with a domain name instead of an IP address.<\/p>

Point a domain<\/h2>

You can point your domain to VPS by either creating two A records<\/a><\/b> or one A and one CNAME record<\/a><\/b>. <\/b><\/p>

After that, you’ll need to create this kind of SRV record<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Name<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Weight<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

default<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

Be sure to replace domain.tld<\/b> with your actual domain name.<\/p>

Point a subdomain<\/h2>

To point a subdomain, you will need to create one A record<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Name<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Points to <\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

TTL<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

subdomain<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

server IP<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

default<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

Make sure to replace subdomain <\/b>and Server IP<\/b> with actual values.<\/p>

Once this record is created, you’ll need to create this kind of SRV record<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>

\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Name<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Weight<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

default<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

Make sure to replace subdomain<\/b> and domain.tld<\/b> with actual values.<\/p>

See How to create and start a Minecraft Server at Hostinger<\/a> for other details about creating and starting a Minecraft server on Game Panel.<\/div>

Your domain or subdomain now points to your Minecraft server, and players can join with it once the DNS records propagate.<\/p>
