How to Host Your Own Domain (5 Steps)

Download a Web server. This is usually necessary since Windows doesn't come with a default Web server. Apache is a good program, but you can also download ABYSS, which is a free program that you can download (see Resources).
Read the documentation that is included with ABYSS to familiarize yourself with the program. This is only necessary if you've never used ABYSS, or if you do not have Apache on your system.
Visit the No-IP website (see Resources). Set up an account while you are on this page. Choose the domain name you want to use.
Download the No-IP client. Click on the Windows operating system download. Download the program and then install it.
Fill in the information the program asks for. Make sure the program runs after installing it. Once all of your information is entered, your IP address will resolve to the domain you chose, which should be something like xxxxxx.hostnameofserver.com (where xxxxxx is the name you chose).

How to Find My 'Minecraft' Server's IP Address

Log on to the server's host computer and press 'Windows-X' to launch the power user menu. If you're using a different computer to host the server than you will be to play, you need to perform these steps on the host computer. The IP address of the computer you'll be playing on won't be useful for this process.
Select 'Command Prompt' from the power user menu and enter the 'ipconfig' command when it loads. It may take a moment for your computer to load all the IP information, including the address you need.
Make a note of the 'IPv4 Address,' which is your computer's local IP address. This is the number you'll need to give out to the other players, as well as the IP address you'll need to connect to if you're going to play on a computer other than the host computer.
Start up your 'Minecraft' server software and bring the server online. Once the server is up and running, you need to get in contact with the other players and give them the IP address so that the game can begin.

How to Create a DNS Website Redirect (6 Steps)

Log in to your domain registrar account. This is the site where you registered your domain name. It may be the same site as your hosting company, or it may be separate.
Find your domain information. Usually, you should see account details with your individual domains listed.
Locate your DNS information. Not every registrar makes this available. However, in most cases you should be able to find it listed in your domain account. In some cases, DNS may be referred to as 'nameservers.'
Change the DNS information to match the destination IP address. This will instruct any browsers trying to access your current site to visit your preferred address instead. If this functionality isn't available, you may need to search for a CNAME (Canonical Name) option. This will allow you to change the destination web address.
Save your changes. It may take a few hours before the changes register online though it can occasionally take as much as 48 hours.
Test your site to make sure that it is redirecting successfully. If you're having problems with the redirect, you may need to contact your hosting company or domain name registrar.
