TXT is a DNS record, which contains info in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information regarding a specific Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, such a record is used to prove that you own a domain name if you're trying to add it to an online search engine or to some traffic analytics platform. As just the domain name owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a verification of ownership for the firm supplying the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that helps to ensure that a particular email address will not be spoofed and that individuals will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and functions as confirmation that it's a reliable one. Because there are no regulations concerning the content of this kind of a record, you can add any other information also.
