SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to use a domain name for a particular service different from a website. By setting up a couple of SRV records, you’re able to use the domain name with different companies and direct it to many servers at a time, each server handling a separate service. You could specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there will not be any interference. You can even set individual priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the exact same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. By having an SRV record you can employ your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the specific software running on various machines with different companies. Which one a client of yours will use is determined by the priority and weight values that you have set.
SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting
You'll be able to set up a completely new SRV record for each of the domain names that you host in a shared web hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without any difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record which you create will be active. Hepsia features a highly intuitive interface and all it will take to create 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 can leave unless of course the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active when you change it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A new SRV record could be created in a matter of seconds for any domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, employed 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 when you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you can create records through the DNS administration tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You need to enter the service, port number and protocol details in addition to 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 any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You could change each of the two if the other provider has asked you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record is going to remain active if changed or removed, could also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
