A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that contains data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, just like your business details, as an example.
TXT Records in Shared Web Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to control the DNS records of every Internet domain or subdomain accommodated in a shared web 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 only a few seconds to do that. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type from a second menu, and then 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 is going to be active. If you wish to confirm your website with Google, for example, you will just need to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other purpose.
