A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers details about the traffic to your web site. Setting up such a record can serve as verification that you're the Internet domain owner and they will supply the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e mail message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other information you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP allows you to control the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated in a shared website hosting account without trouble, so if you 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 it. Through a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to pick one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, select TXT for the type from a second menu, and type the actual content within a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are done, the new record is going to be working. If you want to verify your 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 Internet domain or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
