# SRV record

SRV record is a specification of DNS that assigns server location and port number for a service.

The record has 5 parts:

- service name (host) – has three parts separated by stops: service, protocol, domain name;
- priority – priority of the server, smaller number means higher preference;
- weight – relative weight of record for the records with the same priority, larger number means greater chance to be selected;
- port number (port);
- hostname (target) – server providing the specific service.

Example:

**\_service.\_proto.domain.****TTL****IN****SRV****priority****weight****port****target**\_autodiscover.\_tcp.zone.lv.3600INSRV00443mailconfig.zone.lv.## SRV records management

SRV records can be added, modified and removed in [My Zone](https://my.zone.lv/hosting/webhost/home?lang=en) via webhosting management (under ˇ”Nameserver”) or via domain management (click on the domain name then select “DNS records” from the menu on the left).

To add a new record click “Add record” then select from “DNS Record Type” menu “SRV”.
