# ✔ Before we begin

It's important to know what's necessary to setup it.  
**You have to:**

* Own Minecraft Server.  
* Purchase a Dedicated IP on that Server ( port: 25565 ).  
* Have a WebHosting Service with cPanel control panel.  
* Purchase your own Domain and link all Nameservers. [Click here for more information](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-nameservers-with-namecheap-1rfh15b/)

# 🔨 How to point your domain

Once you've connected your Nameservers you can use the " Zone Editor " tool available on cPanel to create an A Record for your Server IP.

1. **Getting your Server IP**

Firstly you have to login in your Online Control Panel to get your server IP.  
Note that you **must** own a [Dedicated IP](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/what-is-a-dedicated-ip-idqhqo/) in your server, and once you have it you can copy the **IP**.

💭 On the example below the Server **IP** is **123.456.789.101** and the Server Port is 25565.

Now that you've already copied the Numerical Server IP you're ready to setup it in your **cPanel**.

2. **Setting Up in your cPanel**

You can login in your [cPanel](https://web.ggservers.com:2083/) account using the credentials that GGServers emailed to you.  
Scroll down to " **Domains** " and click on the DNS " **Zone Editor** ".

A Box will pop-up.  
Just set a prefix for your IP and paste it on the second box.  
🎨 Click on " **Add an A Record** " and Done!

Your DNS has been set!
