An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to redirect a domain to a third-party server and use it for a service different from a site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so forth. When an SRV record is set up, you can specify an Internet Protocol that the domain name will use and the port, which will be used to connect to the remote server. Moreover, in case you have many SRV records for the same service, you can set different priorities and weights for each and every one of them, so you can distribute the load between a number of machines. Such a record will permit you to employ the same domain name or subdomains under it with different companies, so you're able to use it for different purposes even if you are unable to get all the services from one service provider.
SRV Records in Website Hosting
You will be able to set up a brand new SRV record for each of the domains which you host in a shared website hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you can manage them with ease through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record that you set up will be active. Hepsia features a very intuitive interface and all it requires 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 and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you could leave unless the other provider requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active when you edit it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A completely new SRV record may be created in a matter of seconds for every single domain name hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a really 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 could create records via the DNS management tool, which is a part of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You will need to input the service, port number and protocol info in addition to the record value in them and the new record is going to be operational right after that. The priority and weight options can be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You may adjust any one 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 working if edited or deleted, could also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
