How to setup a subdomain for your minecraft server (Cloudflare)

[LilDev]

Hello guys, Today I am showing the community how to setup their own personal domains/sub domains to a discord server. It is a really quick and fast video so if you do not want to watch a video, Here are the steps

Step #1 - Setting up an A record

Select the DNS tab and Create an A record with the name discord redirecting to the IPv4 Address 8.8.8.8

Step #2 - Creating a Page Rule

Select the Page Rules tab and create a new page rule that goes to discord.yourdomain.com or whatever you want the subdomain to be if you want a subdomain. After that you want to click add a setting and scroll all the way down to Forwarding URL and select it. Finally, you click select status code and select 301 - Permanent Redirect.

Step #3 - Encoding your Discord URL

What you want to do is copy your discord URL and paste it into the destination section of your page rule. After you done that you have to replace all the capitols with encoded versions of themselves, which can be found here. After you replace the Capitols it should look something like this; "https://discord.gg/sVKUFqR" (That is an example link and your link will look a little different). Finally, You click "Save and Deploy" once you have encoded the discord URL.

Step #4 - Enjoy!

It should now be working and redirect you to your servers discord!

Yeah, It is a pain in the butt for new server owners that are trying to create a really aesthetically pleasing server that seems professional but dont know anything about DNS or setting up their domain. I legit had to teach myself how to do this and I had such a headache after two hours of trying to figure it out and finally figuring it out, so I decided to spare others from the pain and suffering I went through and made this tutorial. It is short from a professional tutorial but It helps

Why do you need an A record? Doesn't the page rule work anyways?

(Also side note, 1.1.1.1 is faster than 8.8.8.8 )

8.8.8.8 is from Google. Cloudflare has taken over and created 1.1.1.1. If you look at the website (1.1.1.1) you can see the ping difference.
Anyways, this is a nice thing to do the community, very cool.

With Cloudflare page rules, it requires a single A record to anything.

Thank you for that! I didnt know thats why it needed that. I had a general idea because the subdomain didnt exist until you added an A record that points to something and from that A record it redirects the player to the page rule I assume?
