TXT is a DNS record, containing information in human-readable form for external sources to get information about a specific domain or subdomain. In the most common scenario, such a record is employed to prove that you own a domain name in case you are trying to add it to a search engine or to some website traffic analytics platform. Since only the Internet domain owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a verification of ownership for the business providing the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that helps to ensure that an email address isn’t spoofed and that people will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your online messages come from and functions as proof that it is a dependable one. Since there are no rules concerning the content of this sort of a record, you could add any other info also.
