A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers details about the traffic to your web site. Creating this sort of a record may serve as verification that you are the domain name owner and they will supply the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF security, that helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk e-mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you require a TXT record for any purpose for a domain name or a subdomain hosted inside a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform, you'll be able to set up one easily even though you may not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia CP is really intuitive, you will use a point & click interface and you can create the new record within a few seconds. This is done via the DNS Records section of Hepsia in which you can manage all records for your Internet domain names and creating a new TXT record involves picking an Internet domain or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and typing the actual text in a box - it is as basic as that. It takes merely several minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so if you need it to confirm a website with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your website shortly after you have set up the record and you should be all set.
