Custom Domain Configuration

⚠️Important: Different Approaches

This guide shows how to configure a domain in Goxy so you and your players can use it to connect. Before starting, understand the different methods. This guide focuses on one of them.

ℹ️Method 1: SRV Record (Recommended)

Minecraft has a special mechanism that minimizes configuration errors that could affect other services (e.g., website or TS3 server). It's supported by most players, but in rare cases, some may experience issues (then consider adding a CNAME record).

ℹ️Method 2: CNAME Record

Your domain (e.g., mc.goxy.io) will be redirected to our address (e.g., xxx.gxy.pl). Players enter mc.goxy.io, and it's automatically translated to ours.

⚠️Note: Limitations

This method is more reliable but prevents hosting a website or other services under the same address.

ℹ️Method 3: A Record (Not Recommended)

You can point your domain to our IP addresses. We don't recommend this, as you'll need to manually update it every time we change IPs.

⚠️Note: Limitations

Instead, use a CNAME record for a similar effect without manual IP updates.

Configuration

Cloudflare
OVH

Select your domain in the Cloudflare Dashboard.
Go to the DNS tab on the left menu.
In the DNS Management section, click the blue Add Record button on the right.
A form with additional fields will expand.
In the Type field, select SRV.
In the Name field, enter: _minecraft._tcp.
In the Priority field, enter: 1.
In the Weight field, enter: 1.
In the Port field, enter: 25565.
In the Target field, enter: Your network subdomain (found in the Domains tab - ends with .gxy.pl).
Click the Save button.
Wait up to 10 minutes for DNS servers to refresh. After this time, try joining the server in-game using your domain. In some cases, even if configured correctly, DNS propagation may take up to 24 hours.

⏰DNS Propagation Time

DNS server refresh can take up to 24 hours. If the server doesn't work immediately, check again after a few hours.

My Domain Provider Isn't Listed

If your provider isn't here, follow the same logic as other sections. DNS record configuration is similar across most dashboards.

Some providers don't allow DNS record management for purchased domains. In such cases, we can't assist - adding records is essential and unavoidable. Contact your provider's technical support.

🌟 Professional Look

A custom domain makes your network look more professional.

🎮 Easy Joining

Players can use a simple address like mc.goxy.io instead of the Goxy subdomain.

⚙️ Flexibility

Choose the configuration method (SRV, CNAME) that best fits your needs.
