A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which contains data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this 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 additionally used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your company details, for example.

As our Hepsia CP is really intuitive, you'll employ a point & click interface and you can create the new record in a matter of seconds. This is done through the DNS Records section of Hepsia in which you can handle all records for your domains and setting up a new TXT record involves picking a domain name or a subdomain and "TXT" from drop-down menus and typing the actual text in a box - it is as easy as that. It takes just a few minutes for the new record to become active and to propagate, so if you need it to confirm a website with some search engine, for example, you can ask them to check your site soon after you have created the record and you should be all set.
