TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to obtain info about a specific Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common case, this type of record is employed to prove that you own a domain if you're trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain address owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a proof 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, which makes sure that a particular email address won't be spoofed and that individuals will not get junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record contains information about the mail server where your electronic messages arrive from and serves as confirmation that it's a trusted one. Because there are no restrictions concerning the content of this kind of a record, you can add any other info as well.
