A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the web traffic to your web site. Setting up this sort of a record may serve as confirmation that you are the Internet domain owner and they will provide the content that you should include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk e-mail making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You may include any other info which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
