A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in such a 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 used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In this case, 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 sort of other information as well, like your business details, for example.

TXT Records in Cloud Hosting

Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to control the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated inside a cloud hosting account effortlessly, so if you would like to set up a new TXT record for any 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 pick one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, choose TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content inside a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are ready, the new record will be functioning. If you'd like to validate your website with Google, for instance, you will just have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain address or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other purpose.
