An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to point a domain name to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a website. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, etc. When an SRV record is set up, you can specify an Internet Protocol the domain will use and the port, which is to be employed to connect to the remote server. Moreover, if you have many SRV records for the very same service, you'll be able to set individual priorities and weights for each one of them, so you can spread the load between several machines. Such a record will enable you to use the same domain address or subdomains under it with different companies, so you could employ it for different purposes even if you are unable to get all of the services from a single service provider.
SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting
You will be able to create a brand new SRV record for any of the domains which you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and just minutes later any new record you set up is going to be active. Hepsia includes a highly user-friendly interface and all it takes 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 and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you can leave unless the other provider requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to remain active if you edit it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
A new SRV record may be created within seconds for every single domain name hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, which is used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a very easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to set up any DNS record even if you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you'll be able to set up records via the DNS administration tool, which is a part of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You will need to enter the service, port number and protocol information in addition to the record value in them and the new record will be working right after that. The priority and weight options could be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You can adjust each of the two in case the other provider has asked you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record will remain active if changed or deleted, could also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
