A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. However, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to shield them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your company details, for example.

TXT Records in Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP will permit you to control the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated inside a hosting account without difficulty, so if you would like to set up a new TXT record for any of them, it won't take you more than only a few seconds to do it. Via a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to pick one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, pick TXT for the type from a second menu, then input the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are all set, the new record will be active. If you would like to confirm your web site with Google, for example, you'll just have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other reason.
