A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides info about the traffic to your website. Setting up this kind of a record works as verification that you are the domain name owner and they will provide 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 owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk e-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 name in a TXT record as well.
