A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most popular use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the web traffic to your Internet site. Setting up such a record may serve as verification that you're the domain owner and they'll provide the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to confirm that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information that you would like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
TXT Records in Shared Hosting
If you have a shared hosting account and you want to set up a TXT record for any purpose for a domain name or a subdomain hosted inside it, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel. The new record will be live immediately after that, so a search engine, for example, can pick it up to validate that you're the owner of a given web site within a few minutes. You can create the TXT record from the DNS Records section of your Control Panel where you will also find all other records for your domains. All you will need to do will be to choose the domain or subdomain and the record type from drop-down menus, type the text content and save the change. If you're not sure what you should do, you can also check out our step-by-step guide, which you will find in the Help section of your account, or you can contact our tech support team to help you out with the creation of the new record.
