An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to point a domain name to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a web site. This could be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so on. When an SRV record is created, you could specify an Internet Protocol that the domain address will use and the port, which is to be employed to connect to the remote server. Moreover, if you have many SRV records for the very same service, you are able to set different priorities and weights for every one of them, allowing you to spread the load between many machines. Such a record will enable you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you can use it for many purposes even if you are not able to get all services from just one provider.
SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting
You're going to be able to set up a brand new SRV record for any one of the domain names that you host within a shared website hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without any difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a highly 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 and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you can leave except if the other company 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 change it or remove it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A completely new SRV record may be created in just seconds for each and every domain name hosted inside a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, features a really easy-to-use interface, so you'll be able to set up any DNS record even though you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you'll be able to set up records through the DNS administration tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You have to input the service, port number and protocol details as well as the record value in them and the new record will be live soon after that. The priority and weight options could be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You can adjust any of the two if the other provider has required you to do so. In addition, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which indicates the duration a record is going to remain functioning if changed or deleted, may also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
