TXT is a DNS record, containing info in human-readable form for external sources to gain information regarding a certain domain name or subdomain. In the most common case, this kind 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 web traffic analytics platform. Due to the fact that just the domain name owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a proof of ownership for the firm offering the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which makes sure that a particular 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 come from and functions as confirmation that it's a dependable one. As there are no standards about the content of this kind of a record, you can include any other information also.
