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 another. The most typical use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers info about the web traffic to your website. Setting up this sort of a record works as verification that you are the domain name owner and they'll supply the content that you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another use of a TXT record is to confirm that an e-mail message is sent by the Internet domain owner and from a trusted hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, that helps prevent any electronic address set up under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send junk mail making it look like it was mailed from your own mailbox. You could add any other info which you want to be associated with your domain in a TXT record as well.
