A free subdomain for your Minecraft server

Give your server an easy address like survival.eshplay.com, without needing a domain name of your own.

An address like gnode1.elitestarhosting.com:25616 is hard to remember. With a free subdomain, players connect with something like survival.eshplay.com instead.

Creating a subdomain

  1. Open your server in the game panel and go to Subdomains.
  2. Click Create subdomain.
  3. In Subdomain, fill in the name you want, for example survival.
  4. In Select a domain, choose .eshplay.com.
  5. In Select an allocation, choose your server's port: the one marked Primary.
  6. Click Create subdomain.

The Create subdomain window with the name survival and the domain .eshplay.com

The subdomain appears in the list. After a few minutes Java players can connect with survival.eshplay.com, without a port. Bedrock players connect with the server address and the port.

Tips

  • Name already taken? Pick another one.
  • You can delete a subdomain again on the same page.
  • Have a domain name of your own? Connect it with an SRV record: see Ports and allocations.
