TXT is a DNS record, that contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information about a particular domain name or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this sort of record is employed to prove that you own a domain name if you're trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some web traffic analytics platform. Considering that just the domain name owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a proof of ownership for the company supplying 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 get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and serves as proof that it's a dependable one. Because there are no rules concerning the content of this type of a record, you can include any other info as well.
