InfinityFree Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's currently possible to set CNAME and MX records for domain names on free hosting. For a basic website, these settings are enough. However, many external services expect you to configure TXT records as well. Email service providers demand you configure SPF and DKIM (which are TXT records) and certain domain validations (like Google Webmasters) prefer TXT records as well. I think TXT records would be a very useful addition to free hosting accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 our current dns implementation allows for 255 chars max in the data part, this limitation is the reason we have not added this to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we be expecting for that character limit to become bigger to allow TXT records? ~Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that character limitation would be fine for most TXT records, you could try adding a section for it and giving a warning whenever a TXT record exceeds that max.

Keema Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This chars limit is enough, just enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
