Txt Record Generator

What Is a TXT Record?

A DNS TXT record stores text information associated with a domain name. It is commonly used to verify domain ownership, specify authorized email senders, and support email authentication protocols such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

A TXT record typically includes a record name, a record value, and a TTL (Time to Live). The record name identifies where the record belongs, while the value contains the text or configuration supplied by the relevant service.

How to Use the TXT Record Generator

1. Enter the record name: Add the required hostname, such as @ for a root domain when supported by your DNS provider.

2. Select a record type: Choose Custom TXT Record, Google Site Verification, Microsoft Verification, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, or another available option.

3. Enter the DNS provider: Optionally specify a provider such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy, or Amazon Route 53.

4. Choose the TTL: Select a value from 5 minutes to 24 hours.

5. Enter the TXT record value: Paste the exact text or verification token supplied by the service.

6. Click Generate: Review the generated record and use the details in your DNS provider's settings.

Types of TXT Records You Can Generate

SPF TXT Record Generator

An SPF record specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of a domain. Use the SPF value provided by your email service and avoid publishing multiple separate SPF records for the same domain.

DKIM TXT Record Generator

DKIM uses a DNS record to publish a public key that receiving mail servers can use to verify email signatures. The record name commonly includes a selector, and the value contains the public key supplied by your email provider.

DMARC TXT Record Generator

A DMARC record defines how receiving mail servers should handle messages that fail DMARC authentication checks. It can also specify where reports should be sent, depending on the configuration.

Google TXT Record Generator

Google may provide a TXT record to verify ownership of a domain. Select the relevant verification option and enter the exact value supplied in Google's domain verification instructions.

TXT Record Generator Example

Suppose a website asks you to verify ownership of example.com using a DNS TXT record.

Input

• Record Name: _verify.example.com

• Record Type: Google Site Verification

• DNS Provider: Cloudflare

• TTL: 1 hour (3600)

• TXT Record Value: google-site-verification=abc123xyz789exampleVerificationString

Output

This is an illustrative example, not a real verification token. Replace the example value with the exact token supplied by the service you are verifying.
