Here hairdo UN and welcome back.
So continue their journey with understanding various types of DNS records.
Today we will be looking in to be extra good which is also calls text records.
So I explain you this informal for very simple use case which happened so let's assume I want to send
a specific domain let's assume I want to sell a domain coalesce.
KP start starting now I go to a forum and I say that I want to sell this specific domain and the prizes
x.
Now the question is how can the people under the forum know that I am actually the owner of a specific
domain.
So one of the ways in which this is essentially used to verify is that what you do you create a subdomain.
Let's say verify.
You can put any name or you can select text.
And in this you can say this is my domain and I intend to sell it.
I put my forum user name.
Let's assume my forum user name is even water and I'll put here and I'll also put forward a name.
Let's say digital point and I click on Create.
So now what happens is there is a text that code which is created for this specific name.
Now if anyone wants to verify whether this domain actually belongs to you Only you can ask them to do
are big on this specific subdomain.
And then they will be able to see the value associated with it.
This is my domain and I intend to sell it followed by the user name of the forum where you are selling
and also the forum.
So this is a very nice little way of verifying if the domain belongs to you.
And for many of their services they will ask you to verify whether the domain belongs to you by giving
you some kind of data which they tend to fill it as a text record in part of a DNS.
So if you are able to do that they will verify if you're really put and Wednesday verified they'll they'll
know that this domain belongs to you.
So this is it about the exterior got very simple to record and it is only generally used for storing
some kind of text related file within this specific DNS.
That court said so I hope this basic exterior code is being understood by you.
This is something that you will not be using very extensively maybe once a year while you are setting
up certain things like a mail server.
But other than that this record is something that you will be using very sparingly.
So I hope this has been useful for you and I look forward to see you in the next lecture.
