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

TXT Records in Web Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to handle the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated inside a web hosting account with ease, 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. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to pick one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, pick TXT for the type from a second menu, then input the actual content within a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are ready, the new record will be functioning. In order to confirm your web site with Google, for example, you will just have to log in to your account with them a few 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 want it for any other purpose.
