Adding a TXT record

A TXT record specifies text information that you want to associate with a domain. The text can be a maximum of 255 characters in length.

You can add the record only if your service provider has enabled the capability in the DNS policy file. If not enabled, the control panel displays a message stating that the policy settings do not allow you to add the zone record. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page
   , click Zones (DNS section).

2. In the Reseller Zone List form, locate the zone you want to add a record to, and in the Actions column, click . The Record List form opens. It displays all existing records for the zone.

3. Click Add TXT Record. The Update Text (TXT) Record form opens.

4. In the Host Name field, enter the name of the server with which you want to associate some text information.

5. In the Text field, enter the information you want to associate with the host.
