Please select the type of setup you require, on your root domain or on a subdomain

Root domain, e.g. example.com
  1. Add an A record for your root domain example.com or @ and point it to the IP address of your Minecraft server. Make sure it is set to :grey: as your server won’t work running through Cloudflare’s proxy.
