An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to point a domain to a third-party server and use it for a service different from a site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and many others. When an SRV record is set up, you can specify an Internet Protocol the domain will use and the port, that will be employed to connect to the remote server. Furthermore, in case you have numerous SRV records for the very same service, you'll be able to set individual priorities and weights for each and every one of them, so you can spread the load between a number of machines. Such a record will permit you to use the same domain name or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to employ it for many purposes even if you are unable to get all services from one provider.

SRV Records in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to set up a brand new SRV record for each of the domains which you host in a shared website hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you can manage them with ease in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record which you set up will be active. Hepsia features a really user-friendly interface and all it requires to create an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, that you can leave except when the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you edit it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

A brand new SRV record may be created within just seconds for every single domain hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to handle the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a rather easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to create any DNS record even if you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you are able to set up records through the DNS management tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to input the service, port number and protocol info as well as the record value in them and the new record is going to be live soon after that. The priority and weight options can be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You'll be able to adjust each of the two in case the other company has requested you to do so. Moreover, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record is going to remain working if edited or deleted, can also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
