    I am having trouble port-forwading (I think that's what it's called) my domain. My final goal: make test.left4craft.net point to 198.178.127.8:25717 or s20.hosthorde.com:25717

    • I know the IP is correct, I could connect to it with the port
    • The a record is working, I can connect with minecraft.left4craft.net:25717
    • I cannot use test.left4craft.net (I get the error "unknown host")

    As I was creating this post, I relized that _minecraft and minecraft may not work well together, so I changed the a record to "myserver". This may work, but I don't want to have it not work and know that I could have made a thread.

    It did, otherwise myserver.left4craft.net:25717 wouldn't work. I followed those instructions exactly, and I waited overnight. As a side note, why can't we just buy dedi IP's?

    Try changing the target for the SRV record from "minecraft" to "s20.hosthorde.com".

    Your srv record hostname matches an "A" record.

    This functions for me.
