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 typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet 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 serves as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they'll supply the content you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an email message is sent by the domain owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, that prevents any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send spam making it look like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other information that you'd like to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
