An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to direct a domain to a third-party server and use it for a service different from a website. This could 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 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 very same service, you'll be able to set different priorities and weights for each and every one of them, in order to send out the load between several machines. Such a record will allow you to employ the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you can employ it for different purposes even if you are not able to get all services from one provider.

SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting

You are going to be able to set up a brand new SRV record for each of the domain names which you host within a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you can manage them without difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record which you create will be active. Hepsia comes with a really user-friendly interface and all it takes to set up an SRV record is to fill in a couple of text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you can leave unless of course the other provider needs different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to remain active in case you change it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

A brand new SRV record could be created within seconds for every domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a very easy-to-use interface, so you will 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 set up records through the DNS management tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You will need to enter the service, port number and protocol info in addition to the record value in them and the new record is going to be working right after that. The priority and weight options may be set to every value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You are able to change any one of the two in case the other company has asked you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record will remain live if changed or removed, may also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
