A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's 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 site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the web traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this kind of a record functions as verification that you're the domain owner and they'll provide the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Web Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel allows you to control the DNS records of every Internet domain or subdomain accommodated inside a web hosting account effortlessly, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any of them, it will not take you more than only a few seconds to do this. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll simply have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, select TXT for the type through a second menu, and type the actual content within a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are done, the new record is going to be working. If you wish to verify your site with Google, for example, you will simply have to log in to your account with them a few minutes later and ask them to check your Internet domain or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other reason.
