TXT is a DNS record, that contains info in human-readable form for external sources to get info about a specific domain name or subdomain. In the most common situation, this sort of record is employed to prove that you own a domain if you are trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Considering that only the domain owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a proof of ownership for the corporation providing the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that helps to ensure that an e-mail address isn’t spoofed and that others will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features details about the mail server where your electronic messages arrive from and functions as proof that it is a reliable one. Since there are no rules about the content of such a record, you can include any other information also.
TXT Records in Cloud Hosting
Our custom Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to handle the DNS records of any domain address or subdomain accommodated within a cloud hosting account effortlessly, so if you would want to set up a new TXT record for any one of them, it won't take you more than a few seconds to do that. Through a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to choose one of your Internet domain names or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, pick TXT for the type from a second menu, then type the actual content in a box. This is done in the DNS Records section of Hepsia and soon after you are all set, the new record will be active. If you wish to validate your site with Google, for example, you will just need to log in to your account with them a few minutes later and ask them to check your Internet domain or subdomain. It doesn't take longer for a TXT record to go live if you need it for any other purpose.
