IP Address
The numerical or domain address used to connect to a server. Server IPs can be numeric (123.45.67.89) or domain names (play.example.com) for easier memorization.
Usage Example
“The server IP is play.awesomehytale.com - just paste it into your server browser and hit connect. Much easier to remember than the numeric IP!”
Did You Know?
Many servers use custom domain names (like play.example.com) that point to their numeric IP address. This makes the address easier to remember and allows the server to change hosting providers without players needing a new address.
Related Terms

The round-trip time for data to travel between your computer and the server, measured in milliseconds. Lower ping means more responsive gameplay. Under 100ms is ideal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IP Address mean in Hytale?
An IP address is the unique address used to connect to a Hytale server. It can be a numeric address (like 192.168.1.1) or a domain name (like play.example.com). You enter this address in the game client to join a specific server.
Where do you find a Hytale server's IP address?
Server IP addresses are listed on server listing websites like Hytale Top Servers, on the server's own website, and in their Discord community. Most server listings include a convenient copy button for easy connection.
Why do some Hytale servers use domain names instead of numeric IPs?
Domain names (like play.example.com) are easier to remember than numeric IPs (like 123.45.67.89). They also allow the server to change its underlying IP address (when switching hosts) without requiring players to update their saved server address.
