A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers details about the targeted traffic to your web site. Creating this type of a record may serve as verification that you are the domain address owner and they will provide the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to validate that an e-mail message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF security, that helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk e-mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other info which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP will allow you to control the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated within a shared website hosting account with ease, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any one of them, it won't take you more than just a few seconds to do this. Via a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select TXT for the type through a second menu, then type in the actual content inside a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are all set, the new record will be live. If you wish to confirm your website with Google, for example, you will just need to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your Internet domain or subdomain. It does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other reason.
