SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to use a domain for a particular service different from a site. By creating a few SRV records, you’re able to use the domain name with different providers and direct it to many servers simultaneously, each server handling a different service. You are able to specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there will never be any interference. You may as well set individual priorities and weight for 2 records which are employed for the exact same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use your domain name or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the actual 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've set.

SRV Records in Cloud Hosting

You are going to be able to set up a completely new SRV record for each of the domain addresses you host inside a shared website hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you are able to manage them with ease via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record which you create will be active. Hepsia features a really 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 is going to be used for, the Internet protocol as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, that you can leave unless the other provider requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to be active if you edit it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Because we realize how annoying it may be to manage DNS records, we are going to provide you with an easy-to-use DNS management instrument as an element of our custom Hepsia Control Panel, so when you host your domain names inside a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to create an SRV record with no problems. We've got a step-by-step guide, that'll make things even easier. Using a user-friendly interface, you will need to type in the details that the other company has provided you with - protocol, port number and service. Unless they have given you specific directions to change the priority and the weight values, you may leave those two options as they are and your new record will go live within a matter of minutes. The Time To Live option (TTL) may also be set to a custom value, but normally the default value of 3600 seconds is used for almost all records. This value indicates the time the record will continue existing after it is changed or deleted.
