A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your business details, as an example.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

If you require a TXT record for any purpose for a domain name or a subdomain hosted within a shared hosting account on our advanced cloud platform, you will be able to set up one without difficulty even though you may not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia Control Panel is incredibly intuitive, you'll use a point-and-click user interface and you can create the new record within a matter of seconds. This is done through the DNS Records section of Hepsia where you can handle all records for your Internet domain names and setting up a new TXT record requires choosing an Internet domain or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and typing the actual text in a box - it is as basic as that. It takes just a few minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so in the event you need it to confirm a site with some search engine, for instance, you can ask them to check your website shortly after you've created the record and you should be all set.
