A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. However, in such a case 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 also used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your company details, for instance.

TXT Records in Shared Web Hosting

Our custom Hepsia CP will allow you to handle the DNS records of every domain name or subdomain accommodated inside a shared web hosting account without trouble, so if you would want to create 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'll simply have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, pick TXT for the type through a second menu, then type the actual content within a box. This is done within the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are done, the new record will be functioning. If you would like to confirm your site with Google, for example, you will simply have to log in to your account with them a few minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you want it for any other purpose.

TXT Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The custom-built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, included with all our semi-dedicated hosting plans, will permit you to set up a new TXT record right away and with no complications.

You'll find a detailed step-by-step guide inside the Control Panel as well and the new record will be working immediately after you create it, so if you want it for website confirmation, for example, just wait for a bit and then begin the verification procedure with the online search engine where you are adding your website.
