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