Create a TXT record on your domain

Introduction

A TXT record lets you publish text information inside the domain DNS zone. It is widely used for external verifications and for email-related settings such as SPF, DKIM or DMARC.

Common use cases

You may need a TXT record to:

• Verify domain ownership.
• Publish an SPF policy.
• Create a DMARC record.
• Add values required by marketing, analytics or security services.

How to create the record

1. Log in to the panel that manages the DNS zone.
2. Open the domain zone editor.
3. Choose TXT as the record type.
4. Enter the Host or Name required, for example @ or _dmarc.
5. Paste the exact record value.
6. Save the change.

Conclusion

Creating a TXT record is straightforward if you know which DNS zone should hold it and you paste the exact value. It is one of the most important record types for verifications and email security.
