SRV, which is an abbreviation for Service, is a DNS record, which permits you to use a domain name for a specific service different from a site. By setting up a couple of SRV records, you can use the domain with different companies and point it to several servers simultaneously, every single server managing a different service. You are able to specify the port number for the connection to every single machine, so there will never be any interference. You can even set individual priorities and weight for two records which are used 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 address or a subdomain under it for a Voice-Over-IP server, for instance, and have the specific software running on various machines with different companies. Which one a client of yours will use depends on the priority and weight values that you've set.

You are going to be able to create a new SRV record for any one of the domains you host inside a shared website hosting account on our groundbreaking cloud platform. Provided that the DNS records for the domain address are handled on our end, you will be able to manage them without difficulty through the respective section of your Hepsia Control Panel and just minutes later any new record that you set up is going to be active. Hepsia comes with a highly intuitive interface and all it will take to set up an SRV record is to fill in a few text boxes - the service the record is going to 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 if 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 stay active if you edit it or erase it at some point, the default one being 3600.

The standard value for them is 10, but you could set any other value between 1 and 100 if needed. In addition, you are going to have the option to change the TTL value from the standard 3600 seconds to a various different value - this way setting the time this record will be live in the global DNS system after you delete it or edit it.
