A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers info about the traffic to your website. Creating this type of a record serves as verification that you are the Internet domain owner and they'll supply the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you require a TXT record for any purpose for a domain or a subdomain hosted inside a cloud website hosting account on our leading-edge cloud platform, you'll be able to set up one without difficulty even though you may not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia Control Panel is very intuitive, you will use a point-and-click user interface and you can create the new record in a few seconds. This is achieved via the DNS Records section of Hepsia in which you can manage all records for your domain addresses and setting up a new TXT record involves picking a domain name or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and entering the actual text inside a box - it is as easy as that. It takes only a couple of minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so if you need it to verify an Internet site with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your website shortly after you've set up the record and you should be all set.
