How to Host and Configure a Minecraft Server with No-IP.

Minecraft Account Minecraft Server Software No-IP Account



To connect to the server and play, you will need a Minecraft account. If you don’t have one, you can create one by clicking here.



Step One: You will first need to download the Minecraft Server software package hosted here and start the server.



Step 2: Configuring and installing the Minecraft Server. Follow the instructions for your operating system by clicking the link below. Minecraft servers

Once everything is installed, proceed to Step Three.



Step Three: Port Forwarding



Portforward.com can help you with port forwarding. There you can enter the make and model number of your router and the device/application/software you wish to forward. The website will then provide you with a step-by-step instruction guide on how to properly port forward your router.



After completing port forwarding, go to www.portchecktool.com to check if port 25565 is open. If it is, you'll see a "Success!" message. message.



Further assistance on port forwarding can be found in the General Port Forwarding Guide.



You will need confirmation that we have resolved your hostname to an external IP address. You can check your current IP address by, once again, visiting www.portchecktool.com from the network's location.



Step Four: Next configure a way that No-IP can be kept up to date with the dynamic public (external), address. There are several ways to do this.



First, download our Dynamic Update Client. This client will need to be running at all times at the network's location. It will check your IP address every five minutes, and if it has changed, it will update the change with No-IP.



You can also check if devices on your network support No-IP for Integrated DNS updates. Some devices include No-IP Dynamic DNS. These include routers and camera systems. This will take out the need for you to download Dynamic update client.



Step Five - Now you should have the ability to connect to your server. Simply give them the hostname and port number. For example, "hostname.domain.com:25565".
