How to Add TXT Records to Your Domain's DNS Settings
Configure your TXT resource records to verify domain ownership or add special text to your host name. Here's how to add TXT records to your domain:
- Access DNS Settings
- Open your Domains dashboard
- Click on your domain name
- Select DNS, then DNS Settings
- Add TXT Record
- Scroll to Custom Records
- Click Add Record
- Select TXT from Type dropdown
- Enter host name in Host field (use @ for domain root)
- Input TXT record value in Data field
- Click Save to confirm changes
Note: TXT records are commonly used by third-party services to verify domain ownership or set up email authentication.
Common Uses:
- Domain verification
- Email authentication
- SPF records
- DKIM records
- Service verification
Important: DNS changes may take 24-72 hours to propagate globally. If you experience issues, wait for propagation to complete before troubleshooting.
Remember to:
- Keep record values exactly as provided by the service
- Double-check host name entries
- Verify all characters are correctly copied
- Wait for propagation before testing
For multiple domains, manage DNS records separately for each domain in your dashboard.
