### Common issues

* **Server does not appear / unable to connect** : check the**IP** and the **port** on the dashboard.
* **Server offline** : make sure it is in the **Started** on the dashboard.
* **Still stuck** : contact support and include the time of the test + a screenshot of the error: [Contact Oxygenserv support (ticket dashboard and Discord)](/en/dashboard/contacter-le-support-oxygenserv-ticket-dashboard-et-discord.md).

### FAQ

#### What exactly should I enter: IP alone or IP + port?

Use **IP + port** (format `IP:PORT`). The port is shown on the dashboard.

#### Can I use a domain name instead of the IP?

Yes, once your DNS is configured. Follow: [Put a domain name on your server](/en/dashboard/mettre-un-nom-de-domaine-sur-son-serveur.md).
