A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most popular use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the web traffic to your website. Creating this kind of a record works as confirmation that you're the domain name owner and they will provide the content you should include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk e-mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other information which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Web Hosting

If you want a TXT record for any purpose for an Internet domain or a subdomain hosted inside a web hosting account on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, you will be able to set up one with ease even though you may not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia CP is very intuitive, you'll use a point & click interface and you can create the new record within a couple of seconds. This is accomplished with the DNS Records section of Hepsia in which you can manage all records for your domain names and setting up a new TXT record involves selecting a domain name or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and typing the actual text within a box - it is as basic as that. It takes only several minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so if you need it to confirm a site with some search engine, for instance, you can ask them to check your site after you've created the record and you should be all set.
