A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is 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 web site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides details about the web traffic to your site. Creating such a record serves as verification that you are the Internet domain owner and they'll provide the content you should include as the value when you create 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 web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out spam making it look like it was sent 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.
