hi

so I have a SAMP server, but I can connect via IP alright, but what if I want to connect via DNS?

I do have a webhost -> DNS editor ->

then I entered (example.server.com) and my ip without port, but is not working.

I recheck the DNS, and is example.server.com. (notice the dot at com), maybe this is the fault but why is automatically placing the dot and how do I remove it if it's possible ?

I'm pretty sure you'll need to contact whoever hosts the dns editor for support on this.

Are you using CloudFlare?

Enter your domain and check if IP is showed like its supposed to. If its not, it can take up to 48h for DNS to update changes you made. Also make sure your DNS record is A and not CNAME.

If your samp server port is 7777, then its ok to only use domain, but if its something else, then you use mydomain.comort (port as in 7778 for example) when adding samp server to samp browser.

it must be A Record like play.yourserver.com and your server IP

It should look something like this....

It takes 24 hours for changes to DNS to propagate to the root servers. Maybe longer. The extra dot indicates the "root" of the DNS. That's not an error.

The way DNS works is pretty much as follows: your computer asks the DNS servers of your ISP (probably): do you have the record for xyz.com? If that DNS server has the record it will return it. If it doesn't have the record it will contact another DNS server higher up in the hierachy to see if that server has the record. This goes on until the root servers are reached. If those root servers don't have the record either then the name is unresolvable.
