How to Add TXT Records to Your Domain's DNS Settings
TXT records are special text entries in your domain's DNS settings, often used for domain verification by third-party services. Here's how to add them:
Steps to Add TXT Records:
- Access DNS Settings
- Open your domains dashboard
- Click on your domain name
- Select DNS, then DNS Settings
- Add the Record
- Scroll to Custom Records
- Click Add Record
- Choose TXT from Type dropdown
- Configure Record Details
- Host field: Enter @ for root domain, or specific subdomain
- Data field: Enter the provided TXT value (letters, numbers, and symbols)
- Click Save to apply changes
Important Notes:
- Each domain's DNS records must be managed separately
- TXT records are commonly used for domain ownership verification
- Changes may take 24-72 hours to propagate fully
Best Practices:
- Double-check the TXT value before saving
- Keep records of all DNS changes
- Verify with the requesting service after propagation
- Don't delete existing TXT records unless instructed
For domain-specific issues, verify your DNS settings and ensure all values are entered correctly. Record propagation times vary by provider and location.
