A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that's associated with a domain address as a DNS record for one purpose or other. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to a search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers details about the traffic to your Internet site. Setting up this type of a record works as proof that you're the domain name owner and they will provide the content that you ought 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 Internet domain owner and from a trusted web server - this is the so-called SPF security, which prevents any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out junk e-mail making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You may include any other information you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
