SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to use a domain name for a specific service different from a site. By creating a number of SRV records, you will be able to use the domain with different providers and direct it to numerous servers at once, each server handling a different service. You are able to specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there won't be any interference. You may as well set individual priorities and weight for 2 records that are used for the same service, but forward to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use your domain name or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the real software running on a number of machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours will use is determined by the priority and weight values which you have set.
SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting
You'll be able to set up a brand new SRV record for any of the domains which you host within a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Given that 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 Control Panel and just minutes later any new record which you create will be active. Hepsia includes a highly user-friendly interface and all it requires to set up an SRV record is to fill in a few 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 unless the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active if you edit it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Creating a brand new SRV record for each and every domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end will be very easy and will require no more than several mouse clicks via a user-friendly interface. Through the DNS administration tool inside your Hepsia hosting CP, you could make any record that you need and once you choose SRV as the type, several additional textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you'll need to type in the record value, the service, the protocol and the port number and you'll be all set. In addition, in case the other company requires it, you will also be able to set the weight and priority values if they have to be different from the standard value, which is 10. The range for those two options is from 1 to 100, so you have quite a lot of possibilities if you use a lot of servers for a given service. You could also determine how long the newly created SRV record will remain live if you delete it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
