TXT Records

A TXT record (Text Record) is a type of DNS record used to store text information associated with a domain. These records are often used for domain verification (Prove ownership of your domain when setting up services like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365.), email authentication (e.g., SPF, DKIM, DMARC), or other metadata used by third-party services.
