An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to point a domain name to a third-party server and use it for a service different from an Internet site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, etc. When an SRV record is set up, you could specify an Internet Protocol which the domain name will use and the port, which is to be employed to connect to the remote server. Also, in case you have several SRV records for the same service, you can set individual priorities and weights for each one of them, so you can send out the load between a number of machines. Such a record will allow you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you could employ it for various purposes even if you can't get all of the services from a single service provider.

SRV Records in Shared Web Hosting

You will be able to create a completely new SRV record for each of the domains you host in a shared web hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them effortlessly via the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a really intuitive interface and all it requires to create an SRV record is to fill in a couple of text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, that you can leave unless of course the other company needs different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to be active if you modify it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Creating a completely new SRV record for any domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end will be very easy and is going to take no more than just a few mouse clicks using a user-friendly interface. Through the DNS administration tool in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel, you can create any record you need and when you choose SRV as the type, several more textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you will need to insert the record value, the protocol, the service as well as the port number and you will be all set. In addition, if the other company requires it, you'll also be able to set the weight and priority values in case they have to be different from the default value, which is 10. The range for those two options is from 1 to 100, so you've got lots of possibilities if you use a large number of servers for a particular service. You may also define how long the new SRV record will remain live in case you delete it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
