An SRV record, which stands for Service record, is a DNS entry employed to define the servers which run a particular service for a domain. In other words, you’ll be able to use your domain name not just for an Internet site, but also for an instant messaging server, a video streaming host or perhaps a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, while you still have a website with it. Whenever you create the SRV record, you can pick what Internet Protocol it will employ, on which port the connection to the specific server is going to be established as well as the priority and the weight of the record provided that you have a number of SRV records for the very same service. The second option allows you to employ different machines for load balancing and redundancy. With this type of DNS records, you could use the same domain address for various purposes and even with different providers if the same one can't provide all services you need.

SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting

You are going to be able to create a completely new SRV record for each of the domains that you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you are able to manage them effortlessly through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record that you set up will be active. Hepsia includes a really 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 and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you could leave except if the other provider needs different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number reveals 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 brand new SRV record can be created within 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 very easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to create any DNS record even when 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 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 info plus the record value in them and the new record is going to be live right after that. The priority and weight options can be set to any value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You may change any of the two in case the other provider has asked you to do so. Additionally, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record is going to remain live if edited or removed, can also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
