A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the targeted traffic to your site. Setting up such a record works as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they'll supply the content that you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to control the DNS records of any Internet domain or subdomain accommodated in a shared hosting account with ease, so if you would want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it won't take you more than a few seconds to do this. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to pick one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select TXT for the type from a second menu, and type in the actual content within a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are done, the new record is going to be active. In order to verify your website with Google, for instance, you'll just have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other reason.
