A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the targeted traffic to your website. Setting up this kind of a record may serve as verification that you are the domain name owner and they'll supply the content that you ought to include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to validate that an e mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send out unsolicited mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other information you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Cloud Web Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP will permit you to handle the DNS records of any Internet domain or subdomain accommodated inside a cloud web hosting account without difficulty, so if you would like to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than a few seconds to do that. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type through a second menu, then enter the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are done, the new record is going to be functioning. If you wish to confirm your website with Google, for instance, you will just need 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 want it for any other reason.
