TXT Records

Find out more about TXT records - what are they, what is their purpose and the way in which do they fit in the DNS system.

TXT is a DNS record, that contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information about a certain domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, this sort of record is employed to prove that you own a domain in case you're trying to add it to a search engine or to some site traffic analytics platform. Since only the Internet domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a proof of ownership for the corporation providing the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, that makes sure that a particular email address won't be spoofed and that individuals will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes details about the mail server where your electronic messages arrive from and functions as validation that it is a trusted one. Because there are no restrictions concerning the content of this kind of a record, you could also include any other information also.

TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel allows you to handle the DNS records of every domain or subdomain accommodated inside a shared website hosting account with ease, so if you would like to create a new TXT record for any of them, it will not take you more than just a few seconds to do this. Through a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, select TXT for the type from a second menu, then enter the actual content inside a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are ready, the new record is going to be functioning. If you would like to confirm your web site with Google, for example, you'll simply have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain address or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other purpose.
