SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain for a particular service different from a website. By setting up a few SRV records, you will be able to use the domain address with different providers and point it to many servers simultaneously, every single server managing a separate service. You'll be able to specify the port number for the connection to every machine, so there will never be any interference. You can also set individual priorities and weight for 2 records which are used for the very same service, but direct to different servers for redundancy or load balancing. By having an SRV record you can use your domain address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for example, and have the actual software running on various machines with different companies. Which one a customer of yours will use depends on the priority and weight values you have set.

You will be able to create a new SRV record for each of the domain addresses which you host within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you’ll be able to manage them effortlessly in the respective section of your Hepsia CP and minutes later any new record you set up will be active. Hepsia features a really intuitive interface and all it requires 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 default values, that you can leave except when the other company requires different ones. TTL stands short for Time To Live and this number illustrates the time in seconds for the record to be active if you modify it or delete it at some point, the standard one being 3600.

Furthermore, you'll be able to choose what priority and weight the record will have if you are planning to use a couple or more machines for the exact same service. The default value for them is 10, but you may set any other value between 1 and 100 when necessary. In addition, you are going to have the option to change the TTL value from the default 3600 seconds to any other value - thus setting the time this record will be live in the global DNS system after you erase it or change it.
