SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to employ a domain name for a particular service different from a website. By setting up a number of SRV records, you’ll be able to use the domain address with different providers and direct it to several servers at the same time, every single server managing a different service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to every machine, so there will not be any interference. You can also set individual priorities and weight for two records which are employed for the same service, but forward to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With 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 specific software running on several machines with different providers. Which one a customer of yours is going to use is determined by the priority and weight values you have set.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You'll be able to set up a completely new SRV record for each of the domain addresses you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them with ease via the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and just minutes later any new record which you set up is going to be active. Hepsia features a very user-friendly 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 will be used for, the Internet protocol as well as the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you could leave except if the other provider requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to stay active in case you modify it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
