An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to redirect a domain to a third-party server and employ it for some service different from a site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so on. When an SRV record is set up, you are able to specify an Internet Protocol that the domain address will use and the port, which will be employed to connect to the remote server. Additionally, in case you have several SRV records for the exact same service, you are able to set various priorities and weights for each one of them, so you're able to spread the load between many machines. Such a record will enable you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different companies, so you can employ it for different purposes even if you are unable to get all of the services from one provider.
SRV Records in Web Hosting
You are going to be able to create a completely new SRV record for each of the domains you host within a shared web 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 without difficulty in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record that you create will be active. Hepsia includes a highly user-friendly interface and all it will take to set up an SRV record is to fill in a few text boxes - the service the record is going to be used for, the Internet protocol plus the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you could leave except when the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to be active when you modify it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Setting up a new SRV record for every single domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end is going to be very easy and will take no more than a couple of mouse clicks using a user-friendly interface. Using the DNS administration tool inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, you could make any record you need and when you pick SRV as the type, several more textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you will need to type in the record value, the protocol, the service and also the port number and you will be ready. Additionally, in case the other company requires it, you'll also be able to set the weight and priority values when they have to be different from the standard value, which is 10. The range for these two options is from 1 to 100, so you've got numerous possibilities if you use a large number of servers for a specific service. You may also determine how long the new SRV record will remain active in case you delete it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
