Minecraft Sever Online!

Gundog48 · 15 Feb 2011 at 18:31

We have set up a Minecraft Server and are looking to have a larger community! We have started a town where you can build and it has all the facilities etc. to get started. We would like to have a larger community to help grow the town. The server IP often changes so I suggest you join the Facebook page for IP address updates and online status'. The current IP is:

79.66.108.150

Uptime:
Mondays: 4:30 PM- 11PM
Tuesdays: 4:30 PM- 11PM
Wednesdays: 4:30 PM- 11PM
Thursdays:
Fridays: 4:30 PM- 11PM
Saturdays: 12 AM- 11PM
Sundays: 3 PM- 11PM

Thanks and have fun!

Why does the IP need to often change & why not open 24/7 ?

Gundog48 · 15 Feb 2011 at 18:47

The IP changes often due to my ISP and it is not a dedicated server so it is not up 24/7 however it is perfectly capable of running an MC server for ~20 players. Not many people will be available to play MC out of those hours anyway so it should be fine!

If you know how to get a static external IP could you please let me know? I'm good at hardware but am on a steep learning curve with networking although I am alright with coding.

DynDns may provide a free static hostname?

Cheers, I'll check it out!

Wait, if I point that service in the direction of my IP, surely it wont work when my IP changes?

We already have a large OcUK minecraft community and OcUK members server. There's a rather large thread on it in this section.

Many, many routers support DynDNS and other similar services. They regularly update DynDNS with your current IP, so no matter what your current IP is, the hostname you are given will [should] always point to you.
