Finding your server (any game)

IP, port, password — how to give players what they need to connect.

Every game we host shows the connection details on the service page in /dashboard/services. Two pieces:

  • IP address — looks like 198.51.100.42
  • Port — game-specific (Minecraft 25565, Rust 28015, etc.)

Share these with your players. Some games take IP:Port (most), some take them separately (Minecraft, with a space or just IP if it's the default port).

In-panel connection info

Open the control panel → Network tab. Same info plus any extra ports (RCON, query, mods).

Custom domain / subdomain

You can point a subdomain at the server so players type play.yourdomain.com instead of an IP. Set an A record at your DNS pointing the subdomain at your server's IP.

For games where the port isn't the default (Minecraft non-25565, for example), use an SRV record so players don't have to type the port:

_minecraft._tcp.play.yourdomain.com  SRV  0 5 25565 play.yourdomain.com.

Password / whitelist

If your server is password-protected, share that separately. Don't put it in the public Discord — DMs or pinned admin-only channel.

If you're using a whitelist (most games support it), add players by name/Steam ID via the in-game console or the panel's file manager.

Players can't connect — quick checks

  1. Server is Running in the panel?
  2. IP + port match exactly?
  3. Player using the right game version?
  4. Firewall on the player's end isn't blocking outbound UDP/TCP on that port?
  5. Pingable from the player's machine? ping <your-ip> — if it times out, network issue between them and the server.

If you've checked all that and players still can't get in, open a ticket with one player's IP — we'll trace it.
