A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the traffic to your Internet site. Creating this type of a record works as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they will supply the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e-mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other information that you would like to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Web Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP allows you to control the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated within a web hosting account without trouble, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than a few seconds to do this. Through a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, pick TXT for the type through a second menu, then type in the actual content within a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are all set, the new record will be functioning. If you would like to validate your website with Google, for instance, you'll just have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
