# How to add extra ports to your server

> Open the Network tab and click Create Allocation to get an extra port for Geyser, voice chat, web maps or a bot's web server. The allocation count includes your main port.

Your server comes with one main port that players connect to. Some plugins and apps need a **second port** of their own. You can add these yourself in the **Network** tab, up to the limit of your plan.

## Main port vs additional ports

-   The **primary** allocation is your main address, the one shown at the top of the panel (for example `agni.ender.co.in:45808`). It has a **Primary** badge in the Network tab. Players join on this.
    
-   **Additional ports** are extra ports on the same IP that you can give to other programs on the server.
    

The Network tab shows a line like **"You are currently using 1 of 3 allowed allocations"**. That count **includes your primary port**. So a Grass plan shows 3 allowed allocations: 1 primary + 2 additional.

| Service | Additional ports | Allowed allocations shown (incl. primary) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Minecraft Grass / Plank / Stone | 2 / 3 / 4 | 3 / 4 / 5 |
| Minecraft Iron / Gold / Diamond | 5 / 6 / 7 | 6 / 7 / 8 |
| Minecraft Netherite / Obsidian / Bedrock plan | 8 / 9 / 10 | 9 / 10 / 11 |
| Hytale plans | 3 to 10, depending on the plan | One more than the additional ports |
| Bot hosting plans | 2 | 3 |

Your exact limit is also listed under **Provisioning Limits** (Allocation) on the service's **Overview** tab in the billing panel.

## Add a port

1.  Open your server at [panel.endercloud.in](https://panel.endercloud.in) and click **Network** (under MANAGEMENT).
    
2.  Click **Create Allocation**. A free port is added to your server automatically. You can't choose the number yourself.
    
3.  The new port appears in the list with its **IP** and **Port**. Type what it is for in the **Notes** column, for example `Geyser` or `Voice chat`, so you remember later.
    
4.  Put the new port number into the config of the plugin or app that needs it, then restart the server.
    

> **Warning:**
> Don't make an extra port your primary one unless you mean to. That changes the port players use to join, so your current address would stop working.

## What extra ports are used for

| Use | Where to put the port |
| --- | --- |
| Geyser (Bedrock players on a Java server, UDP) | `bedrock: port:` in Geyser's `config.yml`. See [Geyser and Floodgate](/docs/geyser-and-floodgate-java-bedrock-crossplay). |
| Simple Voice Chat (UDP) | `port=` in `voicechat-server.properties`. See [Simple Voice Chat setup](/docs/simple-voice-chat-setup). |
| Dynmap or BlueMap web map | Dynmap: `webserver-port` in `configuration.txt`. BlueMap: `port` in `webserver.conf`. See [Dynmap and BlueMap](/docs/dynmap-and-bluemap-web-map). |
| Query (server lists, status bots) | `enable-query=true` and `query.port=` in `server.properties`. |
| Bot dashboard, webhook or API | Make your web server listen on `0.0.0.0` and the extra port number. |

Ports work for both TCP and UDP, so Geyser and voice chat need no extra setting.

## Want an address without a port number?

A **dedicated IP** lets players join on the default port (25565 for Java, 19132 for Bedrock) without typing a port. It is available on request: open a ticket at [billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create](https://billing.endercloud.in/tickets/create) and our team will share the price. You can also hide the port for Java players with a free subdomain. See [Free subdomain and dedicated IP](/docs/free-subdomain-and-dedicated-ip).

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: I can't create another allocation**

Check the "using X of Y allowed allocations" line. If X equals Y, you have used every port in your plan (remember the primary port counts as one). Remove an extra port you don't need, or upgrade your plan for more.

**Q: "Failed to bind to port" after adding a plugin**

The plugin is trying to use a port that is not assigned to your server. Change it to one of the ports in your Network tab. See [Failed to bind to port](/docs/failed-to-bind-to-port).

**Q: Can I choose a specific port number?**

No. Ports are assigned automatically from the free ports on your node.
