You need an SRV DNS record. You will need to own a website to do this. If you do own a site contact your site provider and say you need the SRV DNS thing and tell them it's for a game server and give them your IP.

If your running the server off a home computer don't waste your time.

@Awesome

You CAN use a home computer, it just will make your computer slow.

@mia

You can use it on your home computer I run 2 servers on my home computer and a website

To use it on a home computer Port foward and use a Desktop NOT a laptop

Really??Does nobody

Really??

Does nobody understand what this person is asking?!

They already have the ip, They want to change the IP to one like play.example.com

Dont listen to cartose about the portforwarding. My statement still stand. If you run it off your home computer I wouldn't bother setting up a SRV DNS record. Though you don't need an SRV to run a server. You just need people to login using your computers IP address

you can set it up without DNS Records, just use A Records.

Well, for 1 thing,

Well, for 1 thing, I CAN only get on a Laptop. D: But, it is pretty fast, but if I CAN'T run it, then, how do I? What do you mean when you say, "Not a home computer" what is not a home computer?

You can pay a company to host your server. Just google minecraft server hosts, Or pm me if you want to know my personaly reccomendation.

A laptop isn't a great idea for a dedicated server but it will work.
