A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The exact same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in this 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 also used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your business details, as an example.
TXT Records in Shared Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to handle the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated within a shared hosting account with ease, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any of them, it will not take you more than just a few seconds to do that. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll simply have to pick one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, pick out TXT for the type through a second menu, and then enter 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 working. If you'd like to validate your web site with Google, for instance, you'll just have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your Internet domain or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
