A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, that provides details about the web traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this sort of a record may serve as confirmation that you are the domain address owner and they will provide the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send junk mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info that you would like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
