SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which allows you to use a domain name for a particular service different from a site. By setting up a couple of SRV records, you’ll be able to use the domain address with different companies and forward it to a number of servers at once, each server handling a different service. You could specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there won't be any interference. You could also set different priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. Using an SRV record you can employ your domain address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the real software running on a number of machines with different providers. Which one a customer of yours will use will depend on the priority and weight values that you have set.
SRV Records in Cloud Website Hosting
You're going to be able to create a brand new SRV record for any of the domain addresses that you host within a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. As long as the DNS records for the domain name are handled on our end, you are able to manage them effortlessly through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you create is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a highly user-friendly interface and all it will require to create an SRV record is to fill in just 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 standard values, that you can leave except when 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 be active if you modify it or remove it at some point, the default one being 3600.
