A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your website to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which 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 Internet domain owner and they will provide the content that you ought to include as the value when you create the record. Another application of a TXT record is to confirm that an email message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out unsolicited mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info you want to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
