An SRV record, which signifies Service record, is a DNS entry which is used to identify the servers which run a certain service for a domain name. Put simply, you’ll be able to use your domain not just for an Internet site, but also for an instant messaging server, a video streaming host or perhaps a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, while you still have a site with it. When you create the SRV record, you can pick what IP it will employ, on which port the connection to the specific server will be established as well as the priority and the weight of the record assuming that there are several SRV records for the exact same service. The latter option will permit you to use different machines for load balancing and redundancy. Using this kind of DNS records, you may use the same domain name for various purposes and even with different companies in case the same one cannot provide all services that you need.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You are going to be able to create a new SRV record for any of the domain addresses which you host within a shared web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them with ease through the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record you set up will be active. Hepsia features a really 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 and also the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have standard values, that you can leave unless the other provider requires different ones. TTL is short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you edit it or delete it at some point, the default one being 3600.
