Point URL to Specific Port

[UDK450]

I'm having an issue with the Domains tab on my webhosting plan.

Currently, when you type in gahq.ts.nfoservers.com it sends us straight to our TS server. There is no need to include the port for our server. However, when I attempt to direct ts.gaming-affinty.com to the previously mentioned URL, it will not work properly. One needs to add the port to access the server thru the new link. How can I force my new URL to direct the user to a specified port?

Teamspeak has a virtual server option that allows us to have our domain redirect to a specific port, which would otherwise not work and require the port be entered also with our domain. Directing a domain to a speicific port is not possible, so if you want to use your own domain, you will need to include the port number when you connect.

So, there is no possible way for me to somehow rig up a URL that points to the domain plus the port then? That's unfortunate lol

That is the case, yes. The domain controls don't have a way of making that possible, and it is only possible with our domain with Teamspeak's virtual server option. Before Teamspeak added that option, even our domains required the port number when connecting.

The mechanism that TimeX is thinking of is TSDNS. It is possible for you to run your own TSDNS server and do the same thing that we do with your nfoservers.com DNS. In doing this, you will need to run the TSDNS server on the main domain, a parent subdomain of the one you wish to direct to your TS3 server, or the exact subdomain you use for TS3. The TSDNS server executable is included with the TS3 server download.

For instance, if you want to connect with ts.gaming-affinty.com, you could point ts.gaming-affinty.com (with an "A" record) to an unmanaged VDS that is running a TSDNS server. That TSDNS server could be configured to redirect clients using that DNS to 216.52.148.11 at a specific port.

Ah, yes, TSDNS is what I was thinking of. Sorry for the confusion.
