A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the targeted traffic to your site. Setting up this sort of a record functions as verification that you're the domain owner and they will supply the content that you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to confirm that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send unsolicited mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to handle the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated within a shared website hosting account effortlessly, so if you would want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than only a few seconds to do it. Using a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type through a second menu, then type in the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are all set, the new record will be live. If you would like to verify your website with Google, for instance, you'll just 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 require it for any other purpose.
