Hey everyone! Did you know that we created a service which offers free custom server addresses to Minecraft server owners? If you don't have your own domain, you're one step away from getting a better address for your server. Link Website: https://www.hosthorde.com/free-subdomain * The service can also be accessed at mcalias.com, gamename.net and mc-srv.com Features No port numbers Our service uses SRV records, allowing you to connect to your custom subdomain in the Minecraft game client without entering a port number. Completely free We won't try to charge you, and have no restrictions on the service usage. No signup required All you need to do is pick a subdomain, and enter your email and server information. It's that easy. Works for all addresses It doesn't matter what provider you presently use, what IP or hostname you have, or if you presently use a custom port number. Multiple addresses to pick from We presently offer 3 great domains to pick from: mcalias.com, gamename.net and mc-srv.com Other Like this service? Have a suggestion or question? Let us know! Thanks for your interest!
It's true! This service really is awesome! Just wish we could purchase a dedicated domain (<server name>.com) for our servers, like an add-on, from you guys. GoDaddy and other places are too expensive and/or confusing.
Domains aren't all that expensive. A .com domain from a more reputable registrar like NameCheap is only $10.69/year, and that's not even the cheapest TLD.
This service blew my mind when I found it. It was so ridiculously easy to set up! I had been trying to figure out a way to make a shorter and easier IP for players to join, and finding this service through Hosthorde just saved me a huge headache. Not having to deal with paying for a new domain and changing all the settings and whatnot just makes this the easiest option.
