A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your company details, as an example.

TXT Records in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel allows you to handle the DNS records of every domain or subdomain accommodated inside a cloud 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 just a few seconds to do that. Via a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, choose TXT for the type through a second menu, and type in the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are done, the new record will be live. If you wish to verify your site with Google, for example, you will just have to log in to your account with them several minutes later and ask them to check your Internet domain or subdomain. It does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other reason.
