A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most popular use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides information about the traffic to your Internet site. Setting up such a record serves as proof that you are the domain name 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 validate that an e-mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a trusted server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out unsolicited mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information that you would like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
