Minecraft - IP Binding Options

Your Minecraft Server Hosting plan includes options for IP binding.  This guide will show you how to adjust IP binding options using the Networking interface.

IP binding refers to the process of associating a specific IP address with a server instance. This ensures that the Minecraft server or AMP is accessible and operational exclusively through the designated IP address, enhancing security and enabling efficient communication between players and the server. By binding an IP address, administrators can control access, streamline connectivity, and optimize network traffic for a smoother gameplay experience.
