A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your company details, for instance.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

Our custom Hepsia Control Panel allows you to control the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated in a shared hosting account without difficulty, so if you want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it will not take you more than only a few seconds to do that. Using a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to select one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, select TXT for the type from a second menu, then type in the actual content in a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and shortly after you are done, the new record is going to be active. If you'd like to validate your web site with Google, for instance, you will just have to log in to your account with them several 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 want it for any other reason.
