TXT is a DNS record, containing information in human-readable form for external sources to gain information about a specific Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, such a record is employed to prove that you own a domain in case you're trying to add it to an online search engine or to some site traffic analytics platform. Considering that just the domain owner/administrator is able to add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions 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) protection, that makes sure that a particular email address will not be spoofed and that people will not get spam from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes info about the mail server where your electronic messages arrive from and functions as verification that it is a trusted one. Since there are no restrictions regarding the content of this type of a record, you could add any other info also.
