A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's 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 website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the targeted traffic to your web site. Setting up this type of a record may serve as verification that you are the domain name owner and they'll provide the content you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals 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 domain name in a TXT record as well.
