How do I setup my server domain with Cloudflare?



How to:



Log into our server control panel.



Click 'Manage' to open your server.



Click the 'System' then 'Server Details', at the top of the page. Then copy your server IP and port.



Navigate to https://dash.cloudflare.com/
|| Make sure you have your domain's nameservers setup with cloudflare, the process for this depends on the registrar you use. If you are unsure about this step be sure to contact your domain registrar's support team.

Go to your domain's DNS settings on the Cloudflare Dashboard.



Create an A record, the name is the subdomain you want the server to be reachable on, the IPv4 address is the IP portion of the IP and Port you copied from the control panel.



Next, create an SRV record, the name again is the subdomain you want the server to be reachable on, the service is _minecraft, Priority and Weight should be 0, the port is the port at the end of the IP and Port you copied from the control panel (the digits after the :) and the target should be your full intented server address.



Once you press save, leave up to 24 hours for the DNS records to propagate. This process takes time and can not be made any quicker.

You should now be able to connect to your server using your domain!
