TXT is a DNS record, that contains data in human-readable form for external sources to gain info about a particular domain name or subdomain. In the most common scenario, this kind of record is used to prove that you own a domain name in case you are trying to add it to an online search engine or to some website traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a proof of ownership for the business offering the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which helps to ensure that an e-mail address isn’t spoofed and that others will not receive spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features details about the mail server where your online messages arrive from and serves as validation that it is a dependable one. As there are no standards about the content of such a record, you can include any other info also.
