TXT is a DNS record, containing info in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information regarding a specific Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, this kind of record is used to prove that you own a domain if you are trying to add it to an Internet search engine or to some website traffic analytics platform. Due to the fact that only the domain name owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a verification of ownership for the business providing the service. Another popular use for this kind of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which ensures that a particular email address isn’t spoofed and that others will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes info about the mail server where your digital messages originate from and functions as verification that it is a trusted one. Because there are no standards concerning the content of this kind of a record, you could add any other information as well.
