3. Set up a first Minecraft Zone of type CNAME in order to redirect a subdomain to the relevant Minecraft server:

  • Choose the type "CNAME"
  • In the "Name" field, enter the subdomain you want to configure (for example: mc). If you have already configured the desired subdomain in an A record, delete it.
  • In the third field where it says "Click here to configure", enter your VPS server name (example: vps12345.serveur-vps.net).
  • For the "TTL" field, you can leave the default TTL

Then click the "Add" button to save your new Zone.

Bonjour, lors de l'ajout du DNS, j'ai une erreur me disant "Votre configuration DNS ne peut pas être ajoutée car sa valeur est erronée ou un champ avec le même nom existe déjà dans votre listing." , pourtant, l'Ip rentrée est bel et bien valide...

Bonjour, cette erreur est souvent due à l'un des problèmes suivants : - Vous avez déjà une Zone DNS pour cette même valeur. Par exemple, vous essayez d'ajouter la zone WWW en cName alors qu'une autre zone WWW existe déjà. Dans ce cas, il est nécessaire de modifier/supprimer la Zone DNS concernée avant d'ajouter la nouvelle. -Vous essayez d'ajouter une Zone cName en y indiquant une IP. En effet, pour ajouter une Zone contenant une ip, il est nécessaire de choisir une zone de type A et non cName.
