A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers information about the traffic to your web site. Setting up this sort of a record can serve as proof that you are the domain address owner and they'll supply the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to validate that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF security, which 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 could include any other information you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Cloud Web Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP allows you to handle the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated inside a cloud web hosting account without difficulty, so if you would want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it won't take you more than just a few seconds to do that. Using a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll simply have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, choose TXT for the type through a second menu, and enter the actual content within a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are all set, the new record will be live. If you'd like to verify your web site with Google, for example, you'll simply have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other purpose.
