How To Host And Configure A Minecraft Server With No-IP How to Host and Configure a Minecraft Server with No-IP. Minecraft servers To get started, you will need the following: Minecraft Account Minecraft Server Software No-IP Account You will need a Minecraft account to connect to the server and allow you to play. You can create a Minecraft account here if you don't have one. Step One: You will first need to download the Minecraft Server software package hosted here and start the server. Step 2: Installing and configuring Minecraft Server. You can use the following link to follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system. https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server Once everything is installed, proceed to Step Three. Step Three: Port Forwarding Portforward.com is a website that can assist you with port forwarding. There you can enter the make and model number of your router and the device/application/software you wish to forward. The website will then provide you with a step-by-step instruction guide on how to properly port forward your router. After completing port forwarding, go to www.portchecktool.com to check if port 25565 is open. If it's open, you'll see the "Success!" message. message. Further port forwarding assistance can be found in our General Port Forwarding Guide. You will need to make sure that we are resolving your hostname to the correct external IP address. You can check your current IP address by, once again, visiting www.portchecktool.com from the network's location. Step Four: Next you need to configure a way to keep No-IP up to date with your dynamic public (external) IP address. There are many options for doing this. First, download our Dynamic Update Client. This client should be available at all times at the network's address. It will then check the IP address of your computer every 5 minutes. If it detects a change, it will update your IP with No-IP. You can also check whether a device in your network supports No IP for Integrated Dynamic DNS Updates. Some devices that support No-IP for DynamicDNS include Camera systems and Routers. This will eliminate the need to download Dynamic Update Client. Step Five: At this time you should be able to connect to your server and have your friends connect as well. Simply provide the port number and hostname to your friends. For example, "hostname.domain.com:25565".
