Using your own domain for a Hytale server

Reviewed October 26, 2026 1 min read

You can give your server a name like play.yourdomain.com instead of an IP. On Hytale there's one difference from Minecraft: SRV records aren't supported.

Setting it up

  1. Find the server's IP

    It's shown on the panel's console page, next to the port.

  2. Create an A record

    In your domain's DNS settings, point a name (for example play) to that IP.

  3. Wait for DNS

    Changes usually take from a few minutes to a few hours to spread.

  4. Connect with the name and port

    Players type play.yourdomain.com:port. If your port is 5520, the default, the name alone is enough.

Why no SRV record

On Minecraft, an SRV record hides the port. The official manual says SRV records are not supported by Hytale for now and that Hypixel is evaluating them, so the port stays visible unless it's 5520.
