How to host and configure a Minecraft Server with No-IP.
To get started , you'll require three things:
Minecraft Account Minecraft Server Software No-IP Account Account Minecraft Server Software No-IP Account
You will need a Minecraft account to connect to the server and enable you to play. If you don't have an account, you can create one here.
Step One: You will first have to download the Minecraft Server software package hosted here and then start the server.
Step 2 Step 2: Configuring and installing the Minecraft Server. Follow the instructions for your operating system by clicking the link below.

Once everything is installed Once everything is installed, proceed to Step Three.
Step Three: Port Forwarding You will need to port forward port 25565 to the IP address of your server on your router.
Portforward.com can help you with port forwarding. Gslist There you can enter the make and model number of your router and the device/application/software you wish to forward. The website will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how you can properly portforward your router.
After completing port forwarding, go to www.portchecktool.com to check if port 25565 is open. If it is, you'll get an "Success!" message.
You can also find additional port forwarding assistance in our General Port Forwarding Guide.
You'll need to make sure that we are redirecting 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 Step Four: You will need to create a way to keep No IP current with your dynamic public (external) IP address. There are many ways to do this.
First download our Dynamic Update Client. The client must be running continuously at the location of the network. It will check your IP address every five minutes, and should it find that it has changed, it will update the change with No-IP.
You can also determine whether devices on your network support No-IP for Integrated DNS updates. Some devices that support No-IP for Dynamic DNS are Routers or Camera systems. This eliminates the need to download the Dynamic Update Client.
Step Five: At this point you should be connected to your server, and have your friends connect too. Simply give them the hostname and port number. For example, "hostname.domain.com:25565".
