A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers info about the web traffic to your site. Setting up this type of a record can serve as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other info which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
