SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which allows you to use a domain name for a particular service different from an Internet site. By creating a number of SRV records, you will be able to use the domain with different companies and point it to a number of servers at once, each server handling a separate service. You can specify the port number for the connection to each machine, so there won't be any interference. You can also set different priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the same service, but direct 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 example, and have the actual software running on a number of machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours is going to use depends on the priority and weight values which you have set.
SRV Records in Shared Hosting
You will be able to create a brand new SRV record for each of the domain addresses which you host in a shared web hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them with ease via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record that you create will be active. Hepsia includes a really intuitive 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, that you can leave except when the other provider requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to be active in case you modify it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
A new SRV record may be created within just seconds for each domain name hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts, features a very easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to create any DNS record even when you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you can create records with the DNS administration tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You need to enter the service, port number and protocol details as well as the record value in them and the new record will be operational right after that. The priority and weight options may be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You may change each of the two in case the other provider has required you to do so. In addition, 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 default 3600 seconds.
