TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information about a particular domain or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this sort of record is used to prove that you own a domain name in case you are trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a verification of ownership for the firm offering the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which makes sure that an email address isn’t spoofed and that others will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features details about the mail server where your online messages come from and functions as validation that it's a dependable one. Because there are no restrictions regarding the content of this type of a record, you can include any other info as well.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

If you need a TXT record for any purpose for a domain name or a subdomain hosted within a shared hosting account on our leading-edge cloud platform, you'll be able to create one easily even if you do not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia Control Panel is quite intuitive, you'll use a point & click interface and you can set up the new record in a few seconds. This is accomplished through the DNS Records section of Hepsia in which you can control all records for your Internet domain names and setting up a new TXT record includes picking out a domain name or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and inputting the actual text in a box - it is as easy as that. It takes just a few minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so in case you need it to confirm a website with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your site after you've set up the record and you should be all set.
