TXT is a DNS record, containing info in human-readable form for external sources to get information regarding a certain domain or subdomain. In the most common situation, this type of record is used to prove that you own a domain in case you are trying to add it to an online search engine or to some web traffic analytics platform. Since only the domain owner/administrator can add custom DNS records, the TXT record functions as a proof of ownership for the corporation providing the service. Another popular use for this type of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which ensures that an email address shall not be spoofed and that individuals will not get junk e-mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes details about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and serves as validation that it is a reliable one. Since there are no standards about the content of this sort of a record, you can add any other information also.
