A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers details about the traffic to your site. Creating this sort of a record may serve as proof that you're the domain address owner and they'll provide the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other information that you'd like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting account and you want to create a TXT record for any purpose for a domain address or a subdomain hosted in it, you'll be able to do that with a few clicks in your Hepsia CP. The new record will be live right after that, so a search engine, for example, can pick it up to confirm that you are the owner of a particular website in a matter of minutes. You can create the TXT record through the DNS Records section of your Control Panel in which you will also find all the other records for your domain names. All you will need to do will be to pick the domain address or subdomain and the record type through drop-down menus, input the text content and save the change. If you aren't sure how to handle it, you can also check out our step-by-step guide, which you could discover in the Help section of your account, or you can also contact our tech support to aid you with the creation of the new record.
