How to Connect Your Domain to a FiveM Server ​

You can make your FiveM server reachable via your own domain, so players can connect using e.g. play.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com — instead of an IP address.

Requirements ​

• A domain with EmeraldHost
• The IP address and port of your FiveM server (you can find these in the dashboard of your server)

Connect with subdomain (e.g. play.yourdomain.com) ​

1. Open DNS settings
   Open the management of your domain and click on DNS Settings.

2. Create A record
   Create a new record with type A:

   Field	Value
   Type	A
   Name	play
   Target	Your server IP address

3. Create SRV record
   Create a new record with type SRV so FiveM can find the correct port:

   Name:

   Field	Value
   Service Name	_cfx
   Protocol	UDP
   Name	play

   Target:

   Field	Value
   Priority	0
   Weight	5
   Port	Your server port
   Target	play.yourdomain.com

4. Test connection
   Wait a few minutes for the DNS changes to take effect, then connect in-game using play.yourdomain.com.

Connect without subdomain (e.g. yourdomain.com) ​

1. Open DNS settings
   Open the management of your domain and click on DNS Settings.

2. Create A record
   Create a new record with type A:

   Field	Value
   Type	A
   Name	@
   Target	Your server IP address

3. Create SRV record
   Create a new record with type SRV:

   Name:

   Field	Value
   Service Name	_cfx
   Protocol	UDP
   Name	leave empty

   Target:

   Field	Value
   Priority	0
   Weight	5
   Port	Your server port
   Target	yourdomain.com

4. Test connection
   Wait a few minutes for the DNS changes to take effect, then connect in-game using yourdomain.com.
