A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to an online search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides details about the web traffic to your website. Creating this type of a record may serve as confirmation that you're the domain name owner and they will provide the content that you need to include as the value when you set up the record. Another application of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain name to be forged and unauthorized individuals to send out junk e-mail making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You could include any other info that you would like to be associated with your domain name in a TXT record as well.
