SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain for a certain service different from a site. By creating a number of SRV records, you’ll be able to use the domain with different providers and point it to several servers at the same time, each and every server managing a different service. You could specify the port number for the connection to each machine, so there won't be any interference. You may as well set different priorities and weight for 2 records that are used for the exact same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can employ your domain address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the real software running on a number of machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours will use will depend on the priority and weight values that you have set.
SRV Records in Shared Web Hosting
You're going to be able to create a new SRV record for any of the domain names that you host in a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record which you create is going to be active. Hepsia features a really user-friendly interface and all it will require 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 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 demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to be active if you modify it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Creating a new SRV record for each and every domain address hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account on our end is going to be very easy and is going to take no more than just a few mouse clicks using a user-friendly interface. Via the DNS management tool within your Hepsia website hosting CP, you can create any record you need and when you pick 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 also the port number and you will be ready. Additionally, in case the other company requires it, you'll also be able to set the weight and priority values if they have to be different from the default value, which is 10. The range for those two options is from 1 to 100, so you have a number of possibilities if you use a large number of servers for a particular service. You could also specify how long the new SRV record will remain active in case you remove it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
