I am hosting a Mineraft server on the port 25601 and because I didn't want users to have to type the port in, I made a SRV record in my DNS settings so that minecraft.mydomain.com points to mydomain.com:25601.

(using this DNS configuration: _minecraft._tcp.minecraft.mydomain.com pointing to port 25601 on mydomain.com)

Now, I want to host a website on minecraft.mydomain.com, giving users info about my Minecraft server.

How could I do this?

note:  I don't really want to have to host either on a different subdomain.

  • SRV records are service specific. When you create them you have to enter a "symbolic name" for the service. I believe you can have several SRV records for each subdomain, each for a different service. I think you can also create a regular "A" record for that subdomain for protocols like HTTP/HTTPS that don't use SRV records. I haven't found any clear references for these beliefs, however. – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Nov 7 '17 at 22:03

Since browsers do not take into account SRV records, just add A and AAAA records on minecraft.mydomain.com

  • He's using SRV for the minecraft game server, not for something that a browser would use. Minecraft clients do use SRV records, so that is fine. His question is whether or not the same server can be used as a web server and whether or not additional DNS records can be added using the same host name. – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Nov 9 '17 at 2:35
  • The question was how to have a webserver on the same name so like I replied he just needs to have a/aaaa records for the name and this is orthogonal to the srv stuff needed only by Minecraft I never supposed otherwise . The question was really on the name to use do not infer things from.question. – Patrick Mevzek Nov 9 '17 at 5:12
  • Do you have references or experience that the SRV records are indeed orthogonal? – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Nov 9 '17 at 10:17
  • See my answer: browsers do not use SRV records at all – Patrick Mevzek Nov 9 '17 at 12:56
  • And adding the A record won't be up the Minecraft server? – Stephen Ostermiller♦ Nov 9 '17 at 13:00
