Hello all. I currently run a webserver through port 25555, going through dyndns.org then to a dot.tk domain and landing into http://u4ik-haze.tk. My minecraft server goes through port 25565 and dyndns.org, landing at sunnyserver.dyndns.org (soon to be suncraft.tk, i'm hoping). My first question, is how do I get a paid-for domain name for my home webserver (name servers or IP hop) then how do I register subdomains that allow access to various ports? I've seen some websites, http://whatever.com, that, when accessed through a browser opens a normal website. Upon typing that SAME address into minecraft (upon other games) automatically redirects it to http://game.whatever.com and instantly connects users. My second question, is there a way for me to host an online minecraft client, on my website http://u4ik-haze.tk (somewhere on it anyways), that will allow users to connect to and ONLY to my minecraft server of sunnyserver.dyndns.org? (It used to be where in the URL you typed an ip and a port into the address and it would be run from the minecraft.net website, but that's since been taken down.
Thanks for reading this, and I'm looking forward to helping "serve" this community.
The default web port is 80 - I don't know why you're using anything different.
The default Minecraft port is 25565 - If you do not define a port when typing in a server IP/domain, MC will assume it's running on 25565.
Use the default ports for both and users going to domain.com in their browser will get your website, users going to domain.com in Minecraft will get to your server.
If you want to do this with a proper domain, you'll have to create A-records that point to the IP, which you can do through your registrar (where you buy the domain) but you can not point A records to a specific port.

Thanks. However in my case, I cannot use port 80, since I'm "not allowed by my ISP to host a webserver" but do anyways. 25555 is close to 25565 so they would think that I'm just using 2 ports for the same game. (Do they really need to know?)
I was going to set up my own nameservers one day but I haven't got time, nor do I run linux on more than one computer at a time (multi-boot windows/ubuntu/debian). Essentially, is there a script that catches a browser and can forward them to the HTML site or is there a script that catches minecraft and shoots it to the other server (sunnyserver.dyndns.org)?
I'm ridiculously stupid when it comes to the task of buying things because I believe everything should be free. I'm just not going to buy a domain, no matter how cheap it is. I'm only good at the coding/programming aspect of websites and servers.
And if this whole thing isn't possible, then fine. But at least I tried.
Wait, you're not going to pay for a domain but in your original post you said "My first question, is how do I get a paid-for domain name for my home webserver"
Sorry I must be confused about what you're trying to do.

Sorry for not clarifyng.. I'm not going to just "buy" a domain and set it up for my ip address. I was trying to get at, is "if the need arises, how do I set up a paid-for domain without using the company's nameservers or a-records?" But nevermind all that. I think I have a system running that works for now.
Come play on my minecraft server. sunnyserver.dyndns.org (or blade-x.dyndns.org for another good one)
