A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is 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 Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides details about the web traffic to your website. Creating this kind of a record works as proof that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You can include any other info that you would like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.

TXT Records in Shared Hosting

If you want a TXT record for any purpose for a domain or a subdomain hosted inside a shared hosting account on our advanced cloud platform, you will be able to set up one without difficulty even if you do not have previous experience with such matters. As our Hepsia Control Panel is quite intuitive, you'll employ a point & click user interface and you can set up the new record within a few seconds. This is done via the DNS Records section of Hepsia where you can control all records for your Internet domain names and creating a new TXT record requires selecting a domain name or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and entering the actual text inside a box - it is as basic as that. It takes only several minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so in the event you need it to confirm web site with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your site after you've set up the record and you should be all set.
