An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to direct a domain name to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a web site. This may be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, etc. When an SRV record is created, you could specify an Internet Protocol which the domain name will use and the port, which is to be used to connect to the remote server. Additionally, in case you have a few SRV records for the same service, you could set various priorities and weights for every one of them, so you're able to spread the load between many machines. Such a record will permit you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to employ it for many purposes even if you can't get all the services from just one service provider.
SRV Records in Cloud Hosting
You will be able to set up a brand new SRV record for any one of the domains you host within a shared website hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them effortlessly via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record that you set up will be active. Hepsia features a very user-friendly interface and all it requires to create an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol plus the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you could leave except when the other company requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you change it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Creating a brand new SRV record for every single domain 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 clicks using a user-friendly interface. Through the DNS administration tool inside your Hepsia hosting CP, you are able to create any record that you need and when you choose SRV as the type, several more textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you'll need to type in the service, the protocol, the record value and the port number and you'll be ready. Optionally, if the other company requires it, you will also be able to set the weight and priority values in case they have to be different from the standard value, which is 10. The range for these 2 options is from 1 to 100, so you have quite a lot of possibilities if you use many servers for a particular service. You can also specify how long the newly created SRV record will remain live in case you remove it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
