SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain name for a certain service different from a website. By setting up a few SRV records, you can use the domain address with different companies and forward it to numerous servers at the same time, each and every server handling a separate service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to each machine, so there will never be any interference. You can also set different priorities and weight for two records that are used for the exact same service, but forward to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can use your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the actual software running on a number of machines with different providers. Which one a client of yours will use depends on the priority and weight values that you've set.
SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting
You're going to be able to create a new SRV record for each of the domain addresses which 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’ll be able to manage them with ease through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record which you create is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a very user-friendly interface and all it takes 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 as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you can leave unless the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to stay active in case you modify it or erase it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Setting up a new SRV record for any domain hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end is going to be very easy and is going to take no more than a couple of clicks using a user-friendly interface. Using the DNS administration tool in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, you can create any record that you need and once you select SRV as the type, several more textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you'll need to input the service, the protocol, the record value and also the port number and you will be ready. Furthermore, in case the other service provider requires it, you're also going to be able to set the weight and priority values in case they have to be different from the standard value, which is 10. The range for these two options is from 1 to 100, so you've got a number of possibilities if you use a large number of servers for a specific service. You could also specify how long the new SRV record will remain active in case you erase it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
