SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to employ a domain for a certain service different from an Internet site. By setting up a number of SRV records, you will be able to use the domain with different companies and direct 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 will not be any interference. You can even set individual priorities and weight for 2 records which are used for the same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use your domain address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the real software running on various machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours is going to use is determined by the priority and weight values that you've set.
SRV Records in Website Hosting
You are going to be able to set up a brand new SRV record for any of the domains which you host inside a shared web hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them with ease via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a rather intuitive interface and all it takes to set up an SRV record is to fill in a couple of 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 standard values, that you can leave except when 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 when you edit it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
A brand new SRV record can be created in a matter of seconds for each and every domain address hosted in a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, employed to control the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a very 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'll be able to create records with the DNS management tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You need to input the service, port number and protocol details plus the record value in them and the new record is going to be live shortly after that. The priority and weight options may be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You are able to adjust each of the two if the other company has requested you to do so. Moreover, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which indicates the duration a record is going to remain active if changed or deleted, may also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
