SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain for a particular service different from a website. By setting up a couple of SRV records, you’re able to use the domain address with different providers and point it to several servers at once, each and every server handling a different service. You are able to specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there will never be any interference. You could also set different priorities and weight for two records which are employed for the very same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. By having an SRV record you can employ your domain name or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, 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 Cloud Web Hosting

You will be able to set up a brand new SRV record for any one of the domain names you host inside a shared website hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you can manage them effortlessly via the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you create is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a really user-friendly interface and all it requires to create an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave unless the other provider demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to remain active if you edit it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
