An SRV record is a DNS record, which is used to redirect a domain to a third-party server and use it for some service different from a web site. 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 could specify an Internet Protocol the domain will use and the port, that will be employed to connect to the remote server. Furthermore, if you have many SRV records for the very same service, you are able to set individual priorities and weights for every single one of them, so you're able to send out the load between several machines. Such a record will enable you to employ the same domain or subdomains under it with different providers, so you can use it for many purposes even if you cannot get all services from one service provider.
SRV Records in Cloud Hosting
You are going to be able to set up a new SRV record for each of the domain addresses that you host within a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Assuming that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you are able to manage them without any difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and just minutes later any new record that you create 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 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, that you can leave except when the other company demands different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to stay active if you edit it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
