If you are hosting a Minecraft server, having a custom IP (subdomain) is an absolute game-changer. It makes your server more accessible, easier to share, and gives it a polished, professional look. Instead of sharing a complex string of numbers that is easy to forget, you can let players connect to something simple, like myserver.mnt.li, with just a few quick steps.
Why Use a Custom IP?
- Memorable: A custom IP is much easier for players to remember and share.
- Professional Image: It presents your server as organized and dedicated to a quality experience.
- User-friendly: Sharing a word-based subdomain is simpler and less error-prone than an IP with multiple digits and ports.
- Branding: Customize your server name to match your specific community or theme.
How to Set Up a Custom IP
- Go to mintservers.com/dashboard and log in with your credentials.
- Once logged in, look at the sidebar on the left and click on Subdomain under the hosting management panel.
- Enter your desired server name into the text box.
- Choose from one of our three available domain options from the dropdown menu:
mintservers.com,mnt.li, orserv.cx. (For example,myserver.mnt.li). - Click to confirm your selection and lock in your new custom IP!
💡 Pro Tips for an Impactful Custom IP
- Be Concise: Choose short and relevant names for easy recall.
- Avoid Special Characters: Use only alphanumeric characters and hyphens to minimize confusion.
- Consider Keywords: If your server is known for a specific theme or modpack, include that directly in the name.
