SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to employ a domain name for a specific service different from a site. By setting up a couple of SRV records, you are able to use the domain with different providers and point it to numerous servers simultaneously, each server handling a separate service. You can specify the port number for the connection to every machine, so there will never be any interference. You can also set different priorities and weight for 2 records that are used for the exact same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can use 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 client of yours will use is determined by the priority and weight values which you have set.

SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting

You're going to be able to set up a new SRV record for any of the domain names that you host inside a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without any difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and minutes later any new record that you create will be active. Hepsia features a highly user-friendly interface and all it will take to create an SRV record is to fill in a couple of 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 default values, which you can leave unless the other provider needs different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number shows the time in seconds for the record to be active when you change it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.
