derfstew 0 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 You would be looking at something called an "A" Record. Depending on what game you are doing it for its a very good way on your playerbase to join. If the game has a server browser (CSGO, GMOD, etc) then its pretty pointless unless you have a super small domain and the games default port e.g. "joinme.tld" which some users might find it easier to open console and type "Connect joinme.tld". If the game doesn't have server browser it is extremely important. E.g Minecraft. having it as joinme.tld as it refers back to why we have DNS in the first name "To convert an IP address into something memorable" (youtube.com -> 172.0.10.234 for example.) My old gaming community was heavily based on csgo, gmod and games a like. We still made the "A records" for simplicity if people had the knowledge on how to actually use it but 95% of the time the servers were joined via the server in game server browser.
