{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Use the domain to connect**

Use the subdomain instead of the IP.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your game uses a specific port, add `:PORT`. Example: `myserver.oxygenserv.com:30120`.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Common issues

#### The name is rejected or already taken

Try another name. Avoid spaces and special characters.

#### The domain does not resolve immediately

Wait a few minutes. DNS can take a short time.

### FAQ

#### Is this a “real” domain name that I own?

No. It is a subdomain under `oxygenserv.com`.

#### Can I use my own domain?

Yes, but not via the dashboard. You must configure it with your domain name provider.
