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

Step Three When everything is installed then you can move on to the next step.
Step Three Step Three: Port Forwarding
If you need help with port forwarding, you can visit portforward.com. 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 instructions on how to properly forward your router.
After completing port forwarding, go to www.portchecktool.com to check if port 25565 is open. If it is, you will get an "Success!" message.
Additionally, you can find port forwarding support in our General Port Forwarding Guide.
You will need to verify that we are correctly resolving your hostname with 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 The next step is to need to set up an approach to keep no IP current with your dynamic public (external), IP address. There are many methods to accomplish this.
First, download our Dynamic Update Client. This client must be running all the time at the location of your network. It will then check your IP address every five minutes. If your IP has changed, it will automatically update that change using No-IP.
You can also verify if devices on your network support No-IP Integrated DNS updates. Modded minecraft servers Some devices that have No-IP for Dynamic DNS are Camera systems or routers. This will eliminate the requirement to download Dynamic Update Client.
Step Five: At this point, you should be capable of connecting to your server and have your friends connect as well. Simply give them the hostname and port number. For example, "hostname.domain.com:25565".
