Can DNS TXT record broke website? [closed]
I had job to verify website to Facebook with dns records. So I did it and now website shows hosting provider template and redirect to his website.
I had add something like this:
| NAME | FILE | VALUE |
|---|---|---|
| example.com | TXT | "facebook-domain-verification=xyz" |
Privesly hosting settings send error when I tried set NAME to @ or leave blank so I set example.com. Now I know that I should add period after com like this: "example.com."
Can this be a problem to access website? I deleted this record and it's been two hours after that. Still nothing changed. Should I wait more for propagation? I checked that, all servers don't show Facebook txt over example.com .
Setting a TXT record should not interfere with the reachability of a website, that relies on A and AAAA records.
You can check DNS propagation with several tools, like https://www.whatsmydns.net for example.
Anyway, if you are using your hosting provider's web panel to configure DNS, the dot after example.com could be optional. I would check example.com A record with the tool i suggested.
