A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the web traffic to your website. Setting up this sort of a record can serve as confirmation that you're the domain owner and they'll supply 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 e-mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF security, that helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send spam making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You may include any other information which you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP will permit you to manage the DNS records of every domain or subdomain accommodated in a cloud hosting account effortlessly, so if you want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than only a few seconds to do it. Through a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to pick one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, choose TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content in a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are done, the new record is going to be working. If you want to validate your website with Google, for instance, you will simply have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other purpose.
