I've seen this done before but dont know how to set it up...

explanation/example:

When someone goes into a game (e.g. Minecraft) instead of typing an IP to join a game they simply type in www.mywebsite.com and then the server gets added just the same as if you typed in an IP (123.456.789 sorta thing)

My friend used to do this on his website and it worked across multiple games, so people only entered his website and didnt need to remember the IP. if you type in mc-server.co.uk in minecraft then u can add that server without the IP, thats what i mean.

Thanks
