A TXT record (short for text record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) used to provide the ability to associate arbitrary text with a host or other name, such as human readable information about a server, network, data center, or other accounting information.[1]
It is also often used in a more structured fashion to record small amounts of machine-readable data into the DNS.
