Overview
The A record is a fundamental component of DNS that helps connect domain names to their corresponding IP addresses. It stands for "Address record." The A record bridges the human-readable domain name and the computer-readable IP address, ensuring that devices can reach the Minecraft server. For port numbers other than 25565, create an SRV record instead.
Note: It can take up to 24 hours for ISP/DNS providers to update the A record.
