TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to get information about a particular domain or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this kind of record is employed to prove that you own a domain if you are trying to add it to an online search engine or to some web traffic analytics platform. Considering that only the Internet domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a verification of ownership for the corporation supplying the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which ensures that an e-mail address won't be spoofed and that people will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record contains information about the mail server where your digital messages come from and functions as verification that it is a reliable one. Because there are no standards about the content of this type of a record, you could also include any other information as well.
TXT Records in Shared Web Hosting
Our custom Hepsia CP will allow you to handle the DNS records of any domain name or subdomain accommodated in a shared web hosting account easily, so if you want to create a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than a few seconds to do this. Via 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 menu, pick TXT for the type through a second menu, and then type the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are all set, the new record will be active. If you wish to validate your web site with Google, for example, you will simply have 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 longer for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other purpose.
