TXT is a DNS record, containing info in human-readable form for external sources to gain information regarding a specific Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this type of record is used to prove that you own a domain in case you are trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some web traffic analytics platform. Since only the Internet domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a verification of ownership for the business offering the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which ensures that an e-mail address won't be spoofed and that others will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes info about the mail server where your online messages originate from and serves as confirmation that it is a dependable one. Because there are no regulations about the content of this type of a record, you could also include any other info also.
