A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most popular use of a TXT record is to add your website to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers information about the targeted traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this type of a record functions as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they'll supply the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an email message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted hosting 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 spam making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could add any other information you want to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
