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 another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your website to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers info about the web traffic to your website. Creating this sort of a record functions as verification that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
