TXT is a DNS record, which contains information in human-readable form for external sources to gain info about a particular Internet domain or subdomain. In the most common case, such a record is used to prove that you own a domain name 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 address owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record works as a proof of ownership for the corporation offering the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, that ensures that an e-mail address isn’t spoofed and that others will not receive junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features info about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and serves as validation that it's a trusted one. As there are no standards regarding the content of this sort of a record, you can add any other info also.
