TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to get information regarding a particular Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common case, this type 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. Considering that only the domain owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a verification of ownership for the corporation supplying the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, that helps to ensure that an email address won't be spoofed and that others will not get spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features info about the mail server where your online messages originate from and functions as validation that it's a reliable one. As there are no restrictions about the content of this type of a record, you can add any other information also.
