A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most common use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers info about the web traffic to your website. Setting up this type of a record functions as confirmation that you are the domain name owner and they will provide the content that you need to include as the value when you create the record. Another use of a TXT record is to verify that an e mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a trusted web 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 mailed from your own mailbox. You can include any other information that you would like to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
