SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain name for a particular service different from an Internet site. By creating a few SRV records, you will be able to use the domain address with different providers and forward it to numerous servers simultaneously, every single server managing a different service. You can specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there will not be any interference. You could also set different priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. By having an SRV record you can use your domain name or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the specific 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 that you have set.

SRV Records in Shared Website Hosting

You are going to be able to set up a completely new SRV record for each of the domain addresses you host inside a shared web hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them effortlessly in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record which you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a rather user-friendly interface and all it will take to create an SRV record is to fill in a few text boxes - the service the record is going to be used for, the Internet protocol and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave unless of course the other company needs different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to remain active in case you modify it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.
