SRV Records
Find out exactly what SRV records are along with what their part inside the DNS system is.
SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which enables you to use a domain name for a certain service different from a site. By creating a number of SRV records, you can use the domain with different companies and forward it to many servers at once, every single server handling a different service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to each machine, so there won't be any interference. You can also set different priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the very same service, but forward to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can employ your domain address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the specific software running on several machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours will use depends on the priority and weight values that you've set.

SRV Records in Cloud Web Hosting
You are going to be able to set up a new SRV record for any of the domain names which you host within a shared website hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them effortlessly through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you set up is going to be active. Hepsia includes a highly intuitive interface and all it will require to set up an SRV record is to fill in just a few text boxes - the service the record is going to be used for, the Internet protocol plus the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave except if the other company demands different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active if you edit it or remove it at some point, the standard one being 3600.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
A brand new SRV record may be created within seconds for each and every domain hosted in a
semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, used to handle the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a very easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to set up any DNS record even when you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you are able to create records using the DNS management tool, which is part of Hepsia and once you choose SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to type the service, port number and protocol details plus the record value in them and the new record is going to be working right after that. The priority and weight options may be set to every value between 1 and 100, the standard one being 10. You may adjust any of the two in case the other provider has asked you to do so. In addition, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which reveals the duration a record will remain active if changed or removed, could also be modified from the default 3600 seconds.
