A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides details about the targeted traffic to your Internet site. Creating such a record functions 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 use of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other info that you would like to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
