An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to direct a domain to a third-party server and use it for some service different from a site. This could be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and many others. When an SRV record is created, you could specify an Internet Protocol the domain name will use and the port, which is to be employed to connect to the remote server. Additionally, provided that you have numerous SRV records for the same service, you could set various priorities and weights for every single one of them, in order to send out the load between many machines. Such a record will enable you to employ the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to employ it for many purposes even if you are not able to get all the services from one service provider.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You will be able to create a brand new SRV record for any of the domains which you host inside a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them effortlessly in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a rather 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 will be used for, the Internet protocol as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave except when the other provider requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to remain active in case you change it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A brand new SRV record could be created in just seconds for every single domain address hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a rather 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 with the DNS management tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have 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 may change each of the two in case the other provider has requested you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record is going to remain working if edited or erased, can also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
