TXT is a DNS record, which contains info in human-readable form for external sources to gain information regarding a particular Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this sort of record is used to prove that you own a domain name in case you're trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. As only the Internet domain owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a verification of ownership for the company providing the service. Another popular use for this kind of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which helps to ensure that an email address isn’t spoofed and that others will not get spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features info about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and functions as verification that it is a reliable one. Because there are no standards regarding the content of such a record, you can add any other info also.
