How to connect a domain to your server?

General Information​

If you have purchased your domain from one of the domain providers, you can connect it to your server hosted on IceHost.pl
Minecraft using an SRV record.

REMEMBER!

Whenever you change the DNS servers for your domain at the registrar, it can take anywhere from several minutes up to about 20-30 hours for the changes to propagate across the entire network.

INFO:

IP-2 can be found in the Console tab, and the port is located after the “:” (colon). For example, if IP-2 is displayed as: IP-2: nl28.icehost.pl:12345 then your port is 12345

What is an SRV record?​

A DNS Service Record (SRV) specifies the host and port for certain services. Most other DNS records specify only the server or IP address, but SRV records also include the port at that IP address. This way, there is no need to append the port to the domain name – which makes accessing your Minecraft server easier.
