TXT records are DNS entries that contain text information about a domain. They're commonly used to verify domain ownership or configure email security settings.

To add TXT records to your domain:

1. Access DNS Settings

• Open your domain control panel
• Click on your domain name
• Navigate to DNS Settings

2. Add New TXT Record

• Scroll to Custom Records
• Click Add Record
• Select TXT from Type dropdown
• Enter host name (use @ for root domain)
• Input TXT record value provided by your service
• Save changes

Important Tips:

• TXT record values can include letters, numbers, and symbols
• Changes may take 24-48 hours to propagate
• Some services require specific TXT records for verification
• Double-check values before saving to avoid errors

Common Uses:

• Domain ownership verification
• Email authentication (SPF, DKIM)
• Domain security settings
• Service integration verification

Note: Always keep records of your DNS changes and verify implementation with the requesting service after propagation is complete.

For optimal results, wait 24-48 hours after adding TXT records before attempting verification. If issues persist, check your entries for accuracy and consult your service provider's documentation.
