    Hi!
    This maybe the wrong place to ask this question, but what does "Deticated IP" mean?
    I'm going to rent a server and don't know if I need the "Deticated IP"

    Thanks in advance!

    Dedicated IP means you don't need to type in ports.
    E.g 123.456.78:25565 it would be 123.456.78
    mc.examplecraft.com:25565 would be mc.examplecraft.com

    And after a google search. You can find this info here

    Dedicated IP means that you, and only you (should) have access to the IP. If you host a Minecraft server, it might be somewhat crucial, because if you won't have Dedicated IP, you might
    - get an internal IP, which won't let you set up the server
    - get a shared IP, which will share ports with other people (so, for example, if someone uses 25565 port already, you won't be able to create server on that port)
