# 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.ee.3600INSRV00443mailconfig.nl.zone.eu## SRV records management

SRV records can be added, modified and removed in My Zone via [webhosting management](https://eu.myzone.app/dashboard/en/webhosting/webhost/dnsrecords) (under `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`.
