A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains data 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 like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your company details, as an example.

TXT Records in Cloud Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will allow you to manage the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated inside a cloud hosting account easily, so if you would like to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than just a few seconds to do it. Through a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select TXT for the type from a second menu, then enter the actual content within a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are ready, the new record is going to be live. If you'd like to verify your web site with Google, for instance, you'll simply have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other reason.
