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



Three things are necessary to get started:



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 already have an account, you can create one here.



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



Step Two: Installing and configuring the Minecraft Server You will want to use the following link and follow the installation instructions for your specific operating system:

Once everything is in place, move on to Step 3.



Step Three: Port Forwarding You will need to port forward port 25565 to the internal IP address of your server in your router.



Portforward.com offers assistance 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 provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to properly portforward your router. SRAZY'S BLOG



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.



You can also find additional port forwarding assistance in our General Port Forwarding Guide.



You will need to verify that we are correctly resolving your hostname with the correct 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 you need to configure a way to keep No-IP up to date with your dynamic public (external) IP address. There are many ways to do this.



First, you can download our free Dynamic Update Client. This client will need be running at all time at the network's locations. It will then check your IP address every 5 minutes and if your IP has changed, it will automatically update that change with No-IP.



You can also see if a device at your network supports No-IP for Integrated Dynamic DNS updates. No-IP devices are routers and camera systems that support Dynamic DNS updates. This will remove the need to download the Dynamic Update Client.



Step Five - Now you should have the ability to connect to your server. Simply provide them with the hostname you are using, along with the port number. For example, "hostname.domain.com:25565".
