An SRV record is a DNS record, that is used to point a domain to a third-party server and employ it for a service different from a web site. This could be a Voice-Over-IP server, a video streaming service, an instant messaging system, and so on. When an SRV record is set up, you could specify an Internet Protocol the domain will use and the port, which will be used to connect to the remote server. Moreover, in case you have many SRV records for the very same service, you can set various priorities and weights for each and every one of them, so you're able to spread the load between several machines. Such a record will enable you to use the same domain address or subdomains under it with different providers, so you can employ it for many purposes even if you cannot get all the services from a single provider.

SRV Records in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared web hosting account with our company and the DNS records for a domain added in it are managed by our system, you are going to be able to create any record that you need without difficulty, including an SRV one. This is done via the user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel and as soon as you log in to your hosting account and go to the DNS Records section, you will simply have to fill a few boxes with the required info and your new SRV record is going to be active in a couple of hours. You can type in the service, protocol and the port number that you would like to use as well as the priority and the weight of the new record based upon how you need to set up your system or what the third-party provider needs. If required, you may also change the TTL (Time To Live) value for the record, which indicates how long it will remain active after you modify or erase it. The default TTL value for most records is 3600 seconds and you are able to leave it unless you specifically need a different one.

SRV Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

A new SRV record may be created within seconds for every domain hosted inside a semi-dedicated server from our company. The Hepsia hosting CP, used to manage the semi-dedicated accounts, includes a rather easy-to-use interface, so you will be able to create any DNS record even if you have no previous experience with such matters. After you sign in to the account, you could create records using the DNS administration tool, which is a part of Hepsia and once you pick SRV for the type, a few text boxes are going to appear. You have to input the service, port number and protocol information in addition to the record value in them and the new record will be operational right after that. The priority and weight options can be set to every value between 1 and 100, the default one being 10. You could adjust each of the two if the other company has required you to do so. Furthermore, the Time To Live (TTL) value, which shows the duration a record is going to remain active if changed or deleted, can also be modified from the standard 3600 seconds.
