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 other. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers details about the traffic to your web site. Setting up this sort of a record may serve as verification that you're the domain address owner and they'll supply 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 address owner and from a reliable server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out spam making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
