Your server address, like in6.endercloud.in:45568, works but is hard to remember. There are three ways to make it easier, from free and instant to fully custom.
Option | Example address | Java | Bedrock | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Free subdomain |
| Yes, no port | No | Free |
Your own domain |
| Yes, no port (SRV) | Yes, but with port | Domain price |
Dedicated IP | Your own IP, default port | Yes, no port | Yes, no port | Price on request |
Option 1: Free subdomain
Every Minecraft plan can use a free subdomain from our tool at subdomain.endercloud.in.
Copy your server address and port from the top of the Game Panel (also shown as Hostname on the Dashboard).
Open subdomain.endercloud.in, type the name you want, pick one of the available domains and follow the steps on the page.
The tool creates an SRV record for your new subdomain that points to your server and port.
Java players can now join with just the subdomain, without a port. DNS changes can take a few minutes to work everywhere.
Java Edition only. Bedrock ignores SRV records, so Bedrock players must still use the full address and port. Subdomains are also removed if your server stays offline for a long time, so you may need to create it again after a long break.
Option 2: Your own domain
With your own domain you can use an address like play.mydomain.com, which looks professional and stays yours.
Do it yourself: add an SRV record (for Java) and an A or CNAME record at your DNS provider. Step-by-step guide: Connect your own domain to your Minecraft server.
Bedrock: point an A or CNAME record at your server; players enter that name plus the port. See Use a domain with a Bedrock server.

Option 3: Dedicated IP
A dedicated IP gives your server its own IP address on the default Minecraft port (25565 for Java, 19132 for Bedrock). Players type only the IP or your domain, with no port, on every edition and device. This is the cleanest option for Bedrock and for big public servers.
Dedicated IPs are available on request. Open a ticket with your server name and the location it runs in, and our team will tell you the price and availability.
Frequently asked questions
My subdomain stopped working
Check that your server is online and its port has not changed. If the server was offline for a long time, the subdomain may have been removed; create it again in the tool.
Can Bedrock players use the subdomain if they type the port?
The free subdomain is an SRV record that points to your server, so it is meant for Java. Bedrock players should use the address and port shown in the panel.
Does a subdomain hide my server's real address?
No. It is a shortcut, not a shield. Your server is protected by our DDoS protection either way.
