What is this ip called? - Fernado Samuel - 08.08.2013
i have seen ips like this
Server.my-server.us:PORT
and how can they be done?
Re: What is this ip called? - Khanz - 08.08.2013
Get a domain and create a DNS record
put in server and value as your server IP and choose A name.
Re: What is this ip called? - Fernado Samuel - 08.08.2013
Ok and what is TTL ?Is that the port?
Re: What is this ip called? - Khanz - 08.08.2013
Leave TTL alone put it like 10 if you have to, port is already set you don't have to mess with it

Do not set the TTL to 10, that's a ridiculous value.
Point an A record to your server IP, and set the TTL to 14400. Some hosts reject low TTL's due to additional server load looking up DNS queries all the time...

TTL = Time To Live
It's the amount of routers your request can pass before it is dropped. 10 Would be extremely low.
