How to Add a TXT Record
TXT records hold text used for verification and email authentication. Adding one in Zone Editor takes a minute and is needed by many services.
Step-by-step
- Open Domains → Zone Editor and click Manage for your domain.
- Click + Add Record and choose type TXT.
- Enter the Name. Use @ for the domain itself (common for verifications and SPF), or the specific host the service gives you.
- Paste the exact value the service provided into the Record field — copy it precisely, including quotes if shown.
- Set TTL (14400 is fine) and Save.
- Wait, then verify with the service or a DNS lookup — see propagation.
💡 Good to know
- Only one SPF TXT record may exist per domain — merge entries rather than adding a second (see SPF/DKIM).
- Verification TXT records can be removed once a service confirms ownership, unless it says to keep them.
- Paste values exactly — a missing character makes verification fail.
