The TXT record plays a crucial role in setting up and managing one's domain settings. The TXT record is a text data source, housing text data outside of your domain. By using a TXT record, you may verify the domain for a service. To set up this domain record in cPanel, please follow the guide below.
Enter cPanel - If you don't know how, you can follow this guide.
In cPanel, look for the 'Zone Editor' option under the 'Domains' tab.
Find the domain you want to manage, then click 'Manage' on the right side.
On the 'Zone Records' page, click the dropdown next to the '+ Add Record' button and click 'Add "TXT" Record.'
A new table entry will appear at the top. Within the entry, you will be able to fill out four categories for TXT: 'Name,' 'TTL,' 'Type' and 'Record.' Please enter a name for the record, along with the record. ('TTL' and 'Type' can be left as is) Once you have all the categories filled out, click 'Save Record' to add the record.
You will receive a message letting you know that the TXT record has been created after submission.
If you would like to change the record, you can do so by clicking 'Edit' on the right side of the record. From there you can edit the 'Name,' 'TTL,' 'Type' and 'Record.'
If you would like to delete the record, you can do so by clicking 'Delete' on the right side of the record. A pop-up will appear, click 'Continue' to delete.
You have now added the TXT record to your domain. Please note that DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to take affect and display changes. If you would like to try and speed up the process, then you can try flushing your computer's DNS cache by following this article.
Congratulations! You've successfully managed your TXT records.
