MCFun Central has just received a dedicated IP from MCProHosting. This means our sub-domain no longer exists, and you will have to connect via 23.235.224.10 (no port) for a few days until we finish changing our domain.
As I said before in the last post, we are working to get an actual domain from GoDaddy and implement it to our server so that instead of using an MCProHosting sub-domain or a long IP, you would be able to connect via mcfuncentral.com or mc.mcfuncentral.com. However, I am currently in Romania, and I bought the domain with American information. Because of this, GoDaddy is taking extra security measures and asking for a photo of our identification and a picture of our credit card, just to make sure I'm not a Romanian hacker who got access to our identification.
As I said in the first sentence, we have received our Dedicated IP from MCProHosting. Right now, this means good news and bad news: the good news is it is the first step into connecting to MCFun Central via mcfuncentral.com. If we had not purchased a Dedicated IP, you would have to connect via mcfuncentral.com:25576. A Dedicated IP removes the server's port. The bad news about this is since GoDaddy is taking these extra security measures and my GoDaddy account is currently locked, you will have to connect via 23.235.224.10 (with no port) for a few days until we provide proper identification and the account is unlocked. Even then, we still have to wait approximately 24 hours for them to check the identification, and then we still have to wait another 48 hours for the domain change to take place. Man, domain changes are hard. Here's a tip: if you're going to change your server domain to a domain from GoDaddy (or any domain-selling company, for that matter), make sure you're not on vacation out of your country, and make sure you don't do it as your server is starting to rise.
I'll make another post when our domain has finally taken place, and when you will finally be able to connect via mcfuncentral.com. Thanks for reading this post, and thanks for playing on the MCFun Servers!
