Adding an SRV Record

SRV record is a DNS record that provides information on a service available at a domain.

To add the SRV record, perform the following operations:

1. On the Domains page, click the domain where you wish to add a new record and select the DNS tab.
2. Select the DNS Records subtab.
3. Click Add New DNS Record.
4. On the displayed page, select the SRV DNS record type and specify the following parameters of the SRV record:
   • Service: The name of the required service. The protocol of the required service (TCP, UDP or TLS).
   • TTL (Time To Live): Set how many seconds will elapse before the record is refreshed in the DNS cache. To set the TTL, choose between Default TTL (defined by your provider) or Custom. In the latter case, specify your own TTL for the record being created.

     Note: The TTL parameter can be edited later.

5. Select the Service available check box and specify the following parameters of the SRV record:
   • Preference: The priority of the server where a service resides. A lower value means it is more preferred. The following are possible values: Low (40), Normal (30), High (20), and Very high (10).
   • Weight: A relative weight for records with the same value of the Preference parameter. A larger value means it is more preferred. The range of this number is 0-65535.
   • Server host: The host name of the server where a service resides and the port used by a service.

   Note: Leave the Service available check box cleared if you want to specify that a service is not available at this domain.

6. Click Finish.
