A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, which is associated with an Internet domain as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most widespread use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides details about the traffic to your web site. Setting up this sort of a record functions as proof that you are the domain owner and they will supply the content that you should 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 reliable server - this is the so-called SPF security, that helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You may include any other info that you'd like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.
