A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides details about the traffic to your website. Setting up such a record serves as proof that you're the Internet domain owner and they will supply the content you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out spam making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You may include any other information which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia CP will allow you to control the DNS records of any Internet domain or subdomain accommodated inside a shared website hosting account easily, so if you 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 it. Using a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll simply have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content inside a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are done, the new record will be active. If you want to confirm your web site with Google, for example, you'll just need to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It does not take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
