How can I change the IP of my server into text?
For example: Server IP is 1.2.3.4:7777 and I want it to be www.blabla.net:7777
Note: How to make it so people will be able to log in with the numbers AND the text?

You'll need a domain, after that, it's a simple DNS entry. If you don't know what DNS is, well, it's not hard to find resources to explain it.

1. Open cPanel of your website.
2. Open up the DNS page
3. Create an A record, with host to be "play", and IP to be the server's IP.

after about 10-15 minutes (up to 48 hours though) you will be able to connect at play.mydomain.net.

not everyone uses cPanel, for example I use a VPS without a control panel.


Depending on what your using go to the DNS page and add an A record pretty much what Takeit said.

Usually takes 2 minutes for me

You want Perm IP in your router or make a host for in example 1.2.3.4:7777 that will go to search in ****** myinternetipcheck and your own IP In the server if your host it for pay tranfern in any host will 7777. Find it the ic'ly a good host from the ******. Hmm.

You will need to purchase a domain name from a hosting company and add a DNS A or CNAME entry pointing to the IP address of your server. A and CNAME are both types of DNS records, i prefer using A records.

After that, it can take up to 48 hours for the domain name to point to your server due to caching at ISP's and such.

You can use both the domain name and the server after this has been setup.
