A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the targeted traffic to your website. Creating such a record functions as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they will provide the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send unsolicited mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Web Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP will enable you to manage the DNS records of any domain or subdomain accommodated within a web hosting account with ease, so if you would like to create a new TXT record for any of them, it won't take you more than just a few seconds to do this. Using a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to select one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type from a second menu, then type in the actual content within a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are done, the new record is going to be working. If you want to verify your site with Google, for instance, you'll just need to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain address or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other purpose.
