A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides information about the traffic to your site. Setting up this kind of a record serves as confirmation that you are the domain owner and they'll supply the content that 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 address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out unsolicited mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other information which you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
