not sure if this is the right category for this but heres what i need help with:

so basically i have a domain registered on go daddy and i want it to go to my web host, but i also want it to point to my minecraft server, and a subdomain to point to my craftingstore page.

the host requires me to point the name servers to it so i wouldnt be able to point them to cloudflare.

i want mydomain.com to point to the website and the minecraft server and store.mydomain.com to point to craftingstore, how can i do this?

any help is appreciated and if you need any more info or something please put it below.
the host im using for the website: https://retronode.net

Free unsolicited advice.

1. You don't need your name servers to be hosted @ your local provider. You can use A records to easily point your main domain to your website. With that said, I would use CloudFlare for managing your name servers.
2. If you want to have your Minecraft Server be play.domain.com, you just need to create an A record to point your domain to the IP of the Minecraft Server host. If you want your Minecraft Server to be domain.com, and website to be domain.com, you will need to use a CNAME Record to point your website to RetroNode's Name servers, and an A record to point your domain to your Minecraft Server.
3. To create a subdomain, you can create a new A / CNAME record, called "store" and point that to the IP / DNS of your crafting store page.

Best of luck.

You shouldn't have to point your nameservers to retronode's nameservers.
You should use something like cloudflare to point an A Record or CName record to the website.

For minecraft, create an A Record or CName for mc.yourdomain.com and then create an SRV record for yourdomain.com (@ on cloudflare) that points to mc.yourdomain.com. An example on how to do this: https://docs.tcpshield.com/config/dns

On cloudflare you can easily create an A Record/CName for your store as well.
