Where do I find my IP and port?

The Network tab, what node1.penguhost.com means, and how players join.

Open your server in the panel and click Network. The entry marked Primary is your server address, for example:

node1.penguhost.com:4123

Players use exactly this in the game's multiplayer menu. For Minecraft Java: Multiplayer → Add Server → Server Address node1.penguhost.com:4123. For Bedrock: address node1.penguhost.com, port 4123. For Steam games: the Network tab shows the game port; the query port (if the game needs one) is listed in your Startup variables.

Why is there no port 25565?

Every server on a machine needs its own port, and all our Minecraft servers share the same host name. So your port is in the 4000-4500 range instead of the default. Players do not notice: they type the address once and save it.

If you want players to join with a clean address like play.myserver.com without a port, set up a domain with an SRV record.

The IP address instead of the name

node1.penguhost.com resolves to our public IP in Frankfurt. The name is the safer choice: if we ever change the IP, the name follows.
