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 popular use of a TXT record is to add your web site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, that offers information about the web traffic to your website. Creating this sort of a record functions as proof that you are the Internet domain owner and they'll supply the content you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to confirm that an e mail message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized people to send out unsolicited mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other info which you want to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
