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

TXT Records in Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP will permit you to manage the DNS records of any domain or subdomain accommodated in a hosting account without difficulty, so if you would want to create a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than just a few seconds to do that. Through a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to select one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, pick out TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are all set, the new record will be active. In order to validate your website 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 Internet domain or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other purpose.
