How do I add a TXT record in GoDaddy?

In the GoDaddy DNS management: select your domain → Manage DNS → Add. Type = TXT; Host = @ for the root or the subdomain (e.g., _dmarc); TXT Value = the record content (e.g., v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all); TTL = 1 hour default. Save. GoDaddy’s DNS typically propagates within 30-60 minutes globally. For records over 255 characters (DKIM), some GoDaddy accounts require manual string splitting — paste the whole value and GoDaddy handles it. Verify with the DNS query tool after propagation.
