Server-Side

The question of how to set up a domain name as a game server address has come up. You may want something that looks like “game.zsnnet.org” or “css.zsnnet.org” rather than the standard IP address of the game server.

Assuming you already own the domain name, you will need to go to the domains’ DNS settings and add an “A Record” with a Name value of the sub domain (game.zsnnet.org), and a Value of the IP address of the game server you want to point to.

Each webhost or domain provider will be different, some of you will need to contact them to add the DNS record, others (like Dreamhost) allow you to configure your own Custom DNS. Search their support or help areas to see how to configure it correctly for your providers system.
