An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to point a domain name to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a website. This could be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so forth. When an SRV record is created, you can specify an Internet Protocol that the domain name will use and the port, which is to be used to connect to the remote server. Additionally, provided that you have a few SRV records for the very same service, you could set individual priorities and weights for every one of them, so you can send out the load between several machines. Such a record will permit you to use the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you're able to use it for many purposes even if you can't get all services from just one service provider.
SRV Records in Hosting
You will be able to create a completely new SRV record for any of the domain addresses that you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without difficulty in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and just minutes later any new record that you set up will be active. Hepsia includes a very intuitive interface and all it will require to create an SRV record is to fill in 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, which you can leave unless of course 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 stay active when you modify it or erase it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
