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 typical use of a TXT record is to add your web site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which provides details about the targeted traffic to your website. Setting up this kind of a record can serve as verification that you're the domain address owner and they will supply the content that you ought to include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to validate that an e mail message is sent by the domain name owner and from a reliable web server - this is the so-called SPF security, which helps prevent any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send spam making it appear like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could include any other information that you would like to be associated with your domain address in a TXT record as well.
