How to Add a Text Record in HostGator

1. Log into your HostGator cPanel as you usually do. Your cPanel login URL is your domain name followed by '/cpanel,' such as 'www.mydomainname.com/cpanel.' Login details were included in your welcome email when you signed up for your HostGator account.
2. Click on the 'Advanced DNS Zone Editor' icon on the main screen once you are logged in. Select your domain name from the drop-down menu, and then select the domain that you want to add the text record to.

3. Go to the 'Add A Record' section. Input the details for your text record. For the 'type' field, you must put 'TXT' for it to be a text record.
4. Click on 'Save' when you are done, and the new text record for that domain will be saved to your HostGator account.
