The SRV record is a type of DNS record that specifies the location of a specific service within a domain. It stands for "Service record." Unlike other DNS records that mainly map domain names to IP addresses, the SRV record contains information about the service name, protocol, port number, and priority associated with a particular service. This guide will point the domain to the Minecraft server using an SRV record.
Note: It can take up to 24 hours for ISP/DNS providers to update the SRV record.
