Separate Text Record For Free

TXT records are a type of Domain Name System (DNS) record in text format, which contain information about your domain. TXT records also have information that helps external network servers and services handle outgoing email from your domain.

To store new types of information, the TXT record uses a structured format in its TXT-DATA field. The format consists of the attribute name followed by the value of the attribute. The name and value are separated by an equals sign (=). Any printable ASCII character is permitted for the attribute name.

Mistake 2: Quoted TXT record The content of a DNS TXT type record is often displayed with double quotes, but those quotes are not (or should not be) part of the actual DNS record content. The quotes are there for display purposes only.

The DNS 'text' (TXT) record lets a domain administrator enter text into the Domain Name System (DNS). The TXT record was originally intended as a place for human-readable notes. However, now it is also possible to put some machine-readable data into TXT records. One domain can have many TXT records.

The generic steps to add a text record to your domain are listed below. Sign in to your domain's account at your domain host. Locate the page for updating your domain's DNS records. ... Locate the TXT records for your domain on this page. Add a TXT record for the domain and for each subdomain (view "Use Cases" below).

If more than 255 characters are needed, separate into multiple strings (e.g. "v=spf1 .... first" "second string..."). Below are an example of a single SPF record with a single string over 255 characters on the left and a corrected SPF record with the single string split into multiple strings.

To make this easy, you can use this DNS record splitter tool. Open the tool and simply insert your DKIM value into the textbox. It will then split your record into two lines. Now, all you have to do is enclose the two text strings in double quotes.
