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 site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and many others. 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. In addition, in case you have several SRV records for the very same service, you could set different priorities and weights for every single one of them, so that you can spread the load between several machines. Such a record will permit you to use the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you could use it for different purposes even if you can't get all of the services from just one provider.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You will be able to set up a new SRV record for each of the domains that you host within a shared web hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record you create is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a highly intuitive interface and all it will take to create an SRV record is to fill in a couple of text boxes - the service the record is going to 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 except if the other provider needs different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you edit it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A completely new SRV record can be created within just seconds for each and every domain hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, employed to manage the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a rather easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to create 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 with the DNS administration tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You need to type the service, port number and protocol info as well as the record value in them and the new record will be live shortly after that. The priority and weight options can be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You'll be able to change each of the two if the other provider has required you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which indicates the duration a record will remain functioning if edited or deleted, can also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
