How to add an SRV record to your domain

An SRV record (service record) is a type of DNS record that points clients to the server, port, and priority used by a specific service — for example Microsoft 365 autodiscover or SIP. This article explains how to add an SRV record to your domain in the Loopia Customer Zone.

Open the DNS editor

  1. Log in to the Loopia Customer Zone.
  2. Click Domain names and select the domain you want to edit.
  3. Choose DNS editor.
  4. At the top of the editor, make sure the correct domain name is selected.

Add the SRV record

Scroll to the bottom of the DNS editor and fill in the fields as follows:

Subdomain: the service prefix, for example _autodiscover._tcp
Type: SRV
TTL: 3600 (use the same TTL as your other records)
Data: priority weight port target. (note the trailing dot after the target hostname)

The Data field always contains four values separated by spaces: priority, weight, port, and target hostname. The target must end with a dot.

Example: autodiscover SRV record

A complete example, used for email autodiscover, looks like this:

Subdomain: _autodiscover._tcp
Type: SRV
TTL: 3600
Data: 0 0 443 webmail.moln.net.

Click Add to save the record. DNS changes can take a short while to take effect across the internet.
