How to claim and control your subdomain

A concise guide to sign in, validate your server, publish DNS, and keep things running smoothly.

Start here

Sign in with Discord, check banners, then claim your first slot.

Sign in once

Go to /signin and authorize with Discord. We only read your basic profile so you don't have to remember extra passwords.

Sign in

Watch the banners

Maintenance, limits, or news show up as banners in /profile and /dashboard so you catch important updates.

Profile

Make sure your server answers

Validate your Minecraft server before wiring DNS to it.

Ping with /mc-checker

Enter your IP:port (e.g., 123.45.67.89:25565). If the checker reads your MOTD and players, the dashboard validation will pass too.

Open /mc-checker

Common fixes

Most failures come from closed ports or firewalls. Confirm the port (usually 25565) is open to the internet and your server is online.

Create and manage subdomains

Use the dashboard for everything: create, edit, delete, and restore.

Create

In /dashboard click “+”, pick a root domain, enter your subdomain, IP, and port. We push A/SRV records immediately once validation succeeds.

Go to dashboard

Edit or delete

Use Edit to swap IP/port when you move hosts. Delete frees the slot right away so you can reuse it.

Stay dynamic with DDNS

Copy your DDNS token from /profile → DDNS. Hitting that URL updates your IP without waiting for TTLs.

Verification & ownership

Prove control when a platform (like Minehut) asks for DNS proof.

Publish Minehut TXT

Minehut gives minehut-verification=abc123. In /txt-verification pick your subdomain, paste the token, and save. We pause A/SRV and publish the TXT.

TXT verification

Restore DNS

Remove the token in /txt-verification or click “Restore DNS” on the locked card in /dashboard. We delete the TXT and recreate normal records instantly.

Slots, referrals, limits

See how many subdomains you can run and how to grow the pool.

Check your allowance

In /profile you see base slots, referral bonuses, and used slots. Limits apply per managed subdomain.

View allowance

Share your referral code

Give friends your referral code from /profile. When they stay active, you gain extra slots automatically.

FAQ

Quick answers before you open a ticket.

How long does DNS take?

We update DNS instantly. With DDNS links, changes are immediate; without DDNS, resolvers may cache for up to 6 hours. Most apply within 2–10 minutes.

Can I change a name?

You can’t rename a subdomain, but you can delete and recreate it. Editing the IP/port is always allowed.

Can I run multiple servers?

Yes. Each slot equals one managed subdomain. Earn more via referrals or ask support if you need bulk capacity.

Pricing?

It’s free. No paid tiers or hidden fees.

Custom redirects?

We can host vanity links or shortlinks. Ask in Discord with your target URLs.

Support

Solve it yourself first; if you’re stuck, reach out. Discord is recommended but optional.

Self-service first

Re-run /mc-checker, edit the subdomain, or open your firewall/port. These fix most issues.
