SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which allows you to use a domain for a particular service different from a website. By setting up a number of SRV records, you will be able to use the domain with different companies and direct it to several servers simultaneously, each and every server managing a different service. You could specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there won't be any interference. You can also set individual priorities and weight for two records that are employed for the very same service, but point to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. By having an SRV record you can use your domain name or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the actual software running on various machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours will use is determined by the priority and weight values that you have set.
SRV Records in Hosting
You're going to be able to set up a new SRV record for each of the domain names which you host inside a shared web hosting account on our revolutionary cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain are handled on our end, you can manage them with ease in the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and only minutes later any new record that you create is going to be active. Hepsia features a highly intuitive interface and all it requires 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 and the port number. The priority (1-100), weight (1-100) and TTL boxes have default values, which you can leave unless of course the other provider demands different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number reveals the time in seconds for the record to be active in case you change it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.
