Frequently Asked Questions

What is a DNS TXT record?

A TXT record is a type of DNS record that allows domain name owners to associate arbitrary text with their domain names that other Internet-connected systems and services can read. This text is most commonly used for domain ownership verification and email authentication.

What data points can a TXT record contain?

TXT records can contain text strings in the value field, which can be any text that the domain administrator wants to assign. This text string, along with the record’s TTL value, is then stored on our passive DNS database.

Can a domain have multiple TXT records?

Yes, a single domain can have several TXT records. This is often necessary when using multiple services that require their own specific TXT records for verification or authentication purposes. Our TXT Record Lookup tool returns all the TXT records it finds for a queried domain.

Why are TXT records important?

TXT records essentially help different online services trust and correctly interact with your domain. If a TXT record is configured incorrectly or missing when required, it can lead to various issues. For example, email authentication may fail, causing emails to be marked as spam. This can also prevent certain online services from verifying the domain, which may interfere with how they function.

How can I check the other DNS records of a domain?

You may use our DNS Lookup API, which returns TXT records and other DNS record types, or our lookup tool.
