What is an SRV record?

An SRV (Service) record tells clients which host and port provide a specific service for a domain — for example SIP/VoIP, XMPP chat, LDAP, Microsoft Autodiscover, or game servers like Minecraft. The name follows the pattern _service._protocol.domain, e.g. _sip._tcp.example.com.

Reading the fields

  • Priority — lower is preferred (like MX).
  • Weight — relative share among equal priorities.
  • Port — the TCP/UDP port the service listens on.
  • Target — the hostname providing the service.

Frequently asked questions

What format do I enter?

Enter the full SRV name including the service and protocol labels, e.g. _sip._tcp.example.com or _minecraft._tcp.example.com.

Why is my SRV record not found?

Check the exact service and protocol labels and that the record exists at your DNS host. SRV names are case-insensitive but must include both underscore labels.

What's the difference between SRV and MX?

MX is a special-purpose record only for email. SRV is a general mechanism for locating any service's host and port.
