A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique 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 monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. However, in this situation 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 furthermore used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your company details, for example.
TXT Records in Shared Website Hosting
Our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel will enable you to handle the DNS records of any domain or subdomain accommodated within a shared website hosting account without difficulty, 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. Through a very user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, pick TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content within a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are all set, the new record will be live. If you want to verify your site with Google, for example, you'll 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 does not take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other reason.
