An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to direct a domain name to a third-party server and use it for a service different from a website. This could be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and many others. When an SRV record is created, you can specify an Internet Protocol which the domain will use and the port, which is to be employed to connect to the remote server. Moreover, if you have several SRV records for the same service, you could set individual priorities and weights for every one of them, so you're able to send out the load between many machines. Such a record will enable you to use the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to employ it for many purposes even if you cannot get all the services from a single service provider.
SRV Records in Shared Hosting
You will be able to set up a brand new SRV record for each of the domain addresses that you host inside a shared website hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you can manage them with ease through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and minutes later any new record that you create is going to be active. Hepsia includes a really user-friendly interface and all it takes to create an SRV record is to fill in a couple of 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 standard values, which you can leave unless the other company requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to remain active if you modify it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
A brand new SRV record may be created within just seconds for each domain name hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, used to handle the semi-dedicated accounts, features a really easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to set up any DNS record even though you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you are able to create records via the DNS administration tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You need to enter the service, port number and protocol info along with the record value in them and the new record is going to be live soon after that. The priority and weight options could be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You can change each of the two in case the other provider has required you to do so. Furthermore, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record is going to remain live if changed or deleted, can also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
