A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical 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 site. Creating such a record may serve as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
TXT Records in Shared Web Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel allows you to manage the DNS records of every domain address or subdomain accommodated in a shared web hosting account without difficulty, so if you would want to set up a new TXT record for any of them, it will not take you more than only a few seconds to do it. Via a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to choose one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, select TXT for the type through a second menu, and then enter the actual content in a box. This is done inside the DNS Records section of Hepsia and very soon after you are done, the new record will be working. In order to confirm your site with Google, for instance, you will just need to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain name or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other reason.
