An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to direct a domain to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a web site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so forth. When an SRV record is set up, you are able to specify an Internet Protocol which the domain will use and the port, which will be used to connect to the remote server. In addition, if you have a few SRV records for the very same service, you can set individual priorities and weights for each and every one of them, so you can spread the load between many machines. Such a record will allow you to use the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to employ it for different purposes even if you are not able to get all of the services from one service provider.

SRV Records in Shared Hosting

You will be able to create a completely new SRV record for any of the domain names you host in a shared website hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you create will be active. Hepsia includes a very intuitive interface and all it requires to set up 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 plus 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 requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you change 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 every single domain address hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a really easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to set up any DNS record even if you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you can create records via the DNS management tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to type the service, port number and protocol information along with 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 any 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. Moreover, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which indicates the duration a record is going to remain working if edited or removed, can also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
