SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain for a certain service different from a website. By creating a few SRV records, you are able to use the domain name with different companies and point it to a number of servers simultaneously, every single server handling a different service. You can specify the port number for the connection to each machine, so there will never be any interference. You could also set individual priorities and weight for 2 records which are employed for the very same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can employ your domain name 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 is going to use is determined by the priority and weight values which you have set.

SRV Records in Hosting

If you have a hosting account with us and the DNS records for a domain address added in it are handled by our system, you are going to be able to create any record that you need with ease, including an SRV one. This is done with the user-friendly Hepsia CP and when you sign in to your web hosting account and check out the DNS Records section, you will only have to fill several boxes with the required information and your new SRV record will be active within a few hours. You can type in the service, protocol and the port number that you'd like to use as well as the priority and the weight of the new record based on how you want to set up your system or what the third-party provider requires. If required, you can even edit the TTL (Time To Live) value for the record, which shows how long it'll remain active after you edit or erase it. The default TTL value for the majority of records is 3600 seconds and you will be able to leave it if you do not specifically need a different one.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

A completely new SRV record could be created within just seconds for each and every domain address hosted inside a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, which is used to handle the semi-dedicated accounts, features a rather easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to set up any DNS record although you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you could create records via the DNS management tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You will need to type the service, port number and protocol info in addition to the record value in them and the new record is going to be live soon after that. The priority and weight options may be set to any value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You can adjust any one of the two if the other company has required you to do so. In addition, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record will remain active if edited or erased, could also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
