TXT is a DNS record, that contains data in human-readable form for external sources to obtain information about a particular domain name or subdomain. In the most common case, this kind of record is employed 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. Considering that only the domain address 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 kind of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that ensures that a particular email address isn’t spoofed and that people will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features details about the mail server where your digital messages come from and serves as confirmation that it is a reliable one. Since there are no rules regarding the content of such a record, you can include any other information also.
