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 popular use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the web traffic to your web site. Setting up such a record works as proof that you are the domain name owner and they'll provide the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e-mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info that you would like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
TXT Records in Shared Hosting
Our custom Hepsia CP will enable you to control the DNS records of any domain name or subdomain accommodated in a shared 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 this. Through a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, choose TXT for the type through a second menu, then type in the actual content within a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are done, the new record is going to be working. If you'd like to confirm your website with Google, for example, you'll just need to log in to your account with them a few 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 want it for any other reason.
