SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which allows you to employ a domain for a particular service different from a site. By setting up a number of SRV records, you’ll be able to use the domain with different providers and direct it to a number of servers at the same time, every single server handling a different service. You could specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there will not be any interference. You could also set individual priorities and weight for two records which are employed for the same service, but forward to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can use your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the real software running on a number of machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours is going to use is determined by the priority and weight values that you have set.

SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting

You're going to be able to create a brand new SRV record for any of the domain addresses that you host in a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them with ease in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record which you set up is going to be active. Hepsia features a highly intuitive interface and all it requires to set up an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol plus the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you could leave except if the other company requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to be active in case you change it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

A completely new SRV record can be created in a matter of seconds for each domain name hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, employed to control the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a really easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to set up any DNS record although you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you could create records with the DNS administration tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to input the service, port number and protocol information as well as the record value in them and the new record will be active right after that. The priority and weight options may be set to every value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You'll be able to adjust any of the two if the other provider has requested you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record is going to remain live if changed or erased, could also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
