A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers info about the web traffic to your website. Setting up this kind of a record functions as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they will provide the content that you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to confirm that an e mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk e-mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other info you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

If you want a TXT record for any purpose for a domain or a subdomain hosted within a shared hosting account on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, you will be able to set up one easily even though you may not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia CP is really intuitive, you will use a point-and-click interface and you can create the new record in a matter of seconds. This is accomplished through the DNS Records section of Hepsia where you can control all records for your domains and creating a new TXT record includes choosing an Internet domain or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and entering the actual text in a box - it is as basic as that. It takes merely a few minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so in the event you need it to verify an Internet site with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your site shortly after you've created the record and you should be all set.
