SRV records

[icheesy]

Any way I can add SRV records to NFOSERVER domains?

I'm using it for minecraft.
Minecraft now lets people to add SRV records to servers with ports (like mc.cheesium.com forwarding to 1.2.3.4:25584)

Since our servers run off the stock port you can just us an "A" name record. We talk more about how to do this here.

Sorry, I need an SRV record that supports ports

That is not something we support doing via our control panel. Is there a reason you are running your server off a non stock port?

I want to forward domain to my minecraft server (has a 25586 port). Therefore people don't need to type: play.domain.com:25586 but they ONLY need to type play.domain.com

Yes, I know what you're trying to achieve, was curious as to why the server wasn't on a stock port as it would allow you to bypass needing a new record.

I'm using a dedicated server and it has 1 IP (from another host)
I'm having more than 1 server so it'd be nice to have something like

hg.domain.com - 1.2.3.4:25567
main.domain.com - 1.2.3.4:25565
creative.domain.com - 1.2.3.4:25566

This isn't something that we support right now through our webhosting, but it's something that we hope to have implemented soon.

Please, please, please implement it soon!!
I am willing to pay for this!!!
If anything, this is the only thing I want from nfo! Everything else (support, site design, pricing, ect) is really good!

I've added this now. To set up a SRV record pointing mc.cheesium.com to 1.2.3.4:25584, you would do this:

1. Visit the Domains page in your control panel.
2. Create a regular A record to point to the server.
   1. Under the "cheesium.com" domain, click the empty Subdomain field at the bottom.
   2. Enter mc.
   3. Select "A" from the drop-down menu for the new subdomain.
   4. Click the empty Target field for the new subdomain.
   5. Enter 1.2.3.4.
   6. At the bottom of the page, click "Submit changes".
3. Create the SRV record.
   1. Under the "cheesium.com" domain, click the empty Subdomain field at the bottom.
   2. Enter _minecraft._tcp.mc.
   3. Select "SRV" from the drop-down menu for the new subdomain.
   4. Click the empty Target field for the new subdomain.
   5. Enter mc.cheesium.com:25584.
   6. At the bottom of the page, click "Submit changes".
4. Wait a minute or so for the change to take effect.

After following these steps, you will be able to open your Minecraft client and connect to mc.cheesium.com and Minecraft will put you into mc.cheesium.com:25584, which corresponds to 1.2.3.4:25584.

You could also make it so entering straight cheesium.com connects you to the Minecraft server. To do this, just enter "_minecraft._tcp" instead of "_minecraft._tcp.mc" as the SRV subdomain.
