SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain name for a specific service different from a site. By creating a number of SRV records, you’ll be able to use the domain with different providers and forward it to numerous servers at once, each and every server handling a different service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there will never be any interference. You could also set different priorities and weight for 2 records that are used for the very same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the specific software running on several machines with different providers. Which one a client of yours will use is determined by the priority and weight values that you've set.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You'll be able to set up a new SRV record for each of the domain names you host inside a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them effortlessly through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and minutes later any new record that you create will be active. Hepsia includes a very user-friendly interface and all it takes 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 and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you could leave except if the other company demands different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to remain active when you modify it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Setting up a new SRV record for any domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end will be very easy and will take no more than several clicks using a user-friendly interface. Using the DNS administration tool inside your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you can create any record that you need and as soon as you pick SRV as the type, several additional textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you will have to input the service, the protocol, the record value along with the port number and you'll be set. Furthermore, in case the other company requires it, you'll also be able to set the weight and priority values if they have to be different from the standard value, which is 10. The range for these two options is from 1 to 100, so you have quite a lot of possibilities if you use many servers for a given service. You can also determine how long the new SRV record will remain active 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.
