SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain for a specific service different from a site. By creating a few SRV records, you will be able to use the domain with different companies and point it to a number of servers at once, each and every server managing a different service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there won't be any interference. You can even set individual priorities and weight for two records that 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 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 companies. Which one a customer of yours will use will depend on the priority and weight values which you have set.
SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting
You are going to be able to create a completely new SRV record for any of the domain addresses that you host inside a shared web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without any difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and minutes later any new record which you create is going to be active. Hepsia includes a highly intuitive interface and all it will take 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 default values, that you can leave unless the other company needs different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to stay active in case you change it or erase it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Setting up a brand new SRV record for every single domain address hosted within a semi-dedicated server account on our end will be very easy and is going to take no more than a couple of mouse clicks through a user-friendly interface. Via the DNS management tool within your Hepsia website hosting CP, you can create any record that you need and when you pick SRV as the type, several additional textboxes will appear on your screen. There, you'll need to enter the service, the protocol, the record value as well as the port number and you will be all set. In addition, in case the other company requires it, you are also going to 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 these two options is from 1 to 100, so you have numerous possibilities if you use a lot of servers for a given service. You could also define how long the new SRV record will remain active if you erase it in the future by setting a TTL (Time To Live) value for it. By default, the TTL is 3600 seconds.
