An SRV record, which signifies Service record, is a DNS entry that is used to outline the servers which run a particular service for a domain. Quite simply, you’ll be able to use your domain name not just for a web site, but also for an instant messaging server, a video streaming host or even a Voice-Over-IP server, as an example, while you still have an Internet site with it. When you create the SRV record, you can choose what Internet Protocol it is going to employ, on which port the connection to the specific server is going to be established plus the priority and the weight of the record provided that you have several SRV records for the very same service. The latter option will enable you to use different machines for load balancing and redundancy. Using this kind of DNS records, you may use the same domain name for a number of purposes and even with different companies in case the same one is not able to provide all services that you need.

SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting

If you host a domain in a cloud web hosting account from our company and we manage the DNS records for it, you're going to be able to create a new SRV record with just a few clicks inside the DNS Records area of your Hepsia CP. Our intuitive interface makes it much easier to create a new record in comparison with other web hosting Control Panels, so if you require an SRV record, you'll simply need to fill a few boxes and you will be set. This includes the protocol and the port number, the value i.e. the actual record, the priority plus the weight. For the last 2 you may set any value in between 1 and 100 depending on which server you'd like clients to access first or what instructions the other provider has given you. As an extra option, you may choose how long this record will be active after you modify it or delete it - the so-called Time To Live time, that’s measured in seconds. Unless asked otherwise, you may leave the default value there.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

A completely new SRV record can be created within just seconds for every domain name hosted inside a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, used to control the semi-dedicated accounts, comes with a very easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to set up any DNS record even though you may have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you'll be able to create records through the DNS administration tool, which is an element of Hepsia and once you select SRV for the type, a few text boxes will appear. You will need to input the service, port number and protocol info plus the record value in them and the new record is going to be working soon 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 any one of the two in case the other provider has requested you to do so. In addition, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record will remain functioning if edited or erased, may also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
