An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to direct a domain name to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from an Internet site. This could 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 name will use and the port, which will be employed to connect to the remote server. Additionally, in case you have numerous SRV records for the same service, you could set individual priorities and weights for every one of them, allowing you to spread the load between several machines. Such a record will permit you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you could use it for different purposes even if you are unable to get all the services from a single service provider.

SRV Records in Cloud Hosting

You'll be able to set up a completely new SRV record for any of the domain names that you host within a shared web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them without difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and minutes later any new record that you set up is going to be active. Hepsia features a very user-friendly interface and all it takes 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 and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you could leave unless of course the other company requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to remain active when you change it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

A brand new SRV record can be created within seconds for each and every domain name hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, employed to handle the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a rather easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to set up any DNS record although you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you are able to set up records using the DNS administration tool, which is a part of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You need to input the service, port number and protocol details along with the record value in them and the new record will be operational right after that. The priority and weight options could be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You may change any one of the two if the other company has asked you to do so. Furthermore, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record is going to remain live if edited or deleted, can also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
