An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to redirect a domain to a third-party server and use it for a service different from an Internet site. This can be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so forth. When an SRV record is set up, you are able to specify an Internet Protocol which the domain will use and the port, that will be used to connect to the remote server. Additionally, provided that you have many SRV records for the same service, you could set individual priorities and weights for each and every one of them, so you're able to distribute the load between a number of machines. Such a record will permit you to employ the same domain address or subdomains under it with different companies, so you could use it for many purposes even if you cannot get all the services from a single provider.

SRV Records in Hosting

You're going to be able to set up a completely new SRV record for any of the domain names that you host inside a shared website hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without difficulty in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record you set up is going to be active. Hepsia includes a highly user-friendly interface and all it takes to create an SRV record is to fill in a few text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you can leave unless of course the other company demands different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active when you edit it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

By using a semi-dedicated server package from us, you are going to be able to take advantage of our easy to work with DNS management tool, that is a part of the in-house developed Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. It will provide you with a simple user interface to create a new record for each and every domain hosted inside the account, so if you would like to use a domain address for any purpose, you could create a completely new SRV record with only a couple of mouse clicks. Via very simple text boxes, you'll have to enter the service, protocol and port number information, which you should have from the company offering you the service. Furthermore, you're going to be able to pick what priority and weight the record will have if you are planning to use a couple or more machines for the same service. The default value for them is 10, but you can set any other value between 1 and 100 when necessary. Additionally, you will have the option to change the TTL value from the standard 3600 seconds to any other value - this way setting the time this record is going to be live in the global DNS system after you remove it or change it.
