Getting a subdomain to direct to my game server
knox said 1 year ago:
Hello,
I recently purchased a game server and also just purchased a domain from GoDaddy. I was wondering how I would go about setting the domain up so I could create a subdomain, for example game.boss.com to be a DNS for my game server IP, 127.0.0.1. I tried forwarding the subdomain, but the game does not redirect even though it does in a web browser. Thanks in advance.

You can change the IP address that a domain name points to by modifying the DNS settings for it, specifically the A record. When working with A records, records with a host of @ represent the domain name. If you specify a host for the A record, this will create a subdomain. For example:
Host:@
Points to IP: 127.0.0.1
Will cause domain.com to resolve to 127.0.0.1.
Host:game
Points to IP: 127.0.0.1
Will cause game.domain.com to resolve to 127.0.0.1.
Additional information on working with the DNS settings for your domain name can be reviewed in this article:
