A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the targeted traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this kind of a record can serve as proof that you're the domain owner and they will supply the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send unsolicited mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could add any other information that you would like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel allows you to manage the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated in a shared hosting account without trouble, so if you would like to create a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than a few seconds to do it. Via a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll simply have to choose one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, select TXT for the type through a second menu, and then type the actual content in a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are all set, the new record is going to be active. If you'd like to verify your web site with Google, for example, you will simply have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other purpose.
