An SRV record, which signifies Service record, is a DNS entry which is used to define the servers that run a certain service for a domain. Basically, you can use your Internet domain not only for a site, but also for an instant messaging server, a video streaming host or perhaps a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, while you still have a site with it. If you create the SRV record, you may choose what Internet Protocol it's going to use, on which port the connection to the specific server will be established plus the priority and the weight of the record assuming that you have several SRV records for the very same service. The second option will enable you to use different machines for load balancing and redundancy. With this kind of DNS records, you can use the same domain address for a number of purposes and even with different providers in case the same one can't provide all services that you need.
SRV Records in Shared Web Hosting
You are going to be able to create a completely new SRV record for any one of the domains which you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them without any difficulty in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record you create will be active. Hepsia includes a highly intuitive interface and all it will take to create an SRV record is to fill in just a few 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 default values, which you could leave unless the other company requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to stay active when you change it or remove it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A brand new SRV record can be created within just seconds for each and every domain name hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, which is used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a really easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to create any DNS record even if you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you could set up records through the DNS management tool, which is a part of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to enter the service, port number and protocol information in addition to the record value in them and the new record is going to be live soon after that. The priority and weight options may be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You could change any one of the two in case the other provider has required you to do so. Also, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which indicates the duration a record will remain functioning if edited or erased, may also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
