SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain for a specific service different from an Internet site. By creating a few SRV records, you’re able to use the domain with different companies and forward it to a number of servers at once, each and every server handling a different service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to each and every machine, so there won't be any interference. You can even set individual priorities and weight for 2 records which are employed for the very same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. With an SRV record you can employ your domain or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the real software running on various machines with different providers. Which one a client of yours is going to use is determined by the priority and weight values that you've set.
SRV Records in Cloud Hosting
You'll be able to create a completely new SRV record for each of the domains that you host in a shared website hosting account on our innovative cloud platform. Given that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them without difficulty via the respective section of your Hepsia CP and only minutes later any new record that you set up will be active. Hepsia includes a really user-friendly interface and all it requires to set up an SRV record is to fill in a couple of text boxes - the service the record will be used for, the Internet protocol plus the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, which you can leave unless the other company requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number indicates the time in seconds for the record to remain active when you edit it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
