SRV records tell apps where to find a service on your domain. Microsoft 365 (Teams/Skype for Business) and some VoIP and chat services ask you to add them.
Open your control panel: log in to the FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
- Open Manage DNS for your domain.
- Add a record with Type SRV and fill in the values your service gives you: Name/Service, Target (data), Priority, Weight and Port.
- Save, and add any further SRV records the same way.
Example values (Microsoft 365)
| Name | Target | Priority | Weight | Port |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _sip._tls | sipdir.online.lync.com | 100 | 1 | 443 |
| _sipfederationtls._tcp | sipfed.online.lync.com | 100 | 1 | 5061 |
Always copy the exact values from your Microsoft 365 admin centre, as they may change. Changes can take up to an hour to work.
