To add TXT records to your domain:

  1. Access DNS Settings
  • Open your domains dashboard
  • Click the domain name
  • Click DNS, then DNS Settings
  1. Add the TXT Record
  • Scroll to Custom Records
  • Click Add record
  • Select TXT from Type dropdown
  • Enter host name in Host field (use @ for root domain)
  • Enter TXT record value in Data field
  • Click Save

Note: TXT records are commonly used to verify domain ownership for third-party services. Each domain's DNS records must be managed separately if you have multiple domains.

Common Uses:

  • Domain verification
  • Email authentication
  • Service validation
  • Security protocols

Tips for Success:

  • Double-check the record value for accuracy
  • Allow up to 72 hours for changes to take effect
  • Verify the host name matches service requirements
  • Keep records of all DNS changes made

If you encounter issues, review your DNS settings and ensure all values are entered correctly. Contact your service provider if problems persist.

For domain connections, you can use either Nameserver Connect or DNS Connect, depending on your specific needs and setup requirements.
