DNS Setup

Last reviewed: June 2, 2026

Step 1: Add an A Record​

  1. Navigate to the DNS section of your domain registrar or Cloudflare dashboard.
  2. Create a new A Record with the following details:

    • Type: A

    • Name: play (or any subdomain you prefer)

    • IPv4 Address: Your server's IP address (e.g., 123.45.67.89)

    • Proxy Status: You may need to disable proxying (DNS Only) to allow FiveM connections.

      Disabling the proxy will expose your server IP. If you're using our DDoS protection, it's safe to do so.

  3. Click Save.

Step 2: Add an SRV Record​

This SRV record allows users to connect without typing the port number.

  1. Create a new SRV Record with the following configuration:
    • Type: SRV
    • Name: play.yourdomain.com (e.g., play.projectsloth.org)
    • Service: _cfx
    • Protocol: UDP
    • TTL: Auto
    • Priority: 10
    • Weight: 10
    • Port: 30120 (or your server’s custom port)
    • Target: play.yourdomain.com
  2. Click Save.

Final Step: Connect Using Your Custom Domain​

Once both records are set:

  • Players can now connect using your custom URL (e.g., play.projectsloth.org) instead of a raw CFX or IP address.

Please allow 2–4 hours for DNS propagation before the connection works globally.
