The most commonly used DNS record for domain verification is the TXT (Text) record. This record is often required by services like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Facebook Business, and various SSL providers to confirm that you own and control the domain.

To add a TXT record in cPanel:

  1. Log in to your cPanel account.

  2. Navigate to the Zone Editor.

  3. Click "Manage" next to your domain.

  4. Click "Add Record", then choose TXT.

  5. Paste the verification string provided by the service you're verifying with.

Once the TXT record is added and DNS propagation completes (which can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours), the service will be able to verify your domain ownership. This is an essential step for setting up custom email services, SSL certificates, or integrating with third-party platforms.
