A TXT record is text in free, human-readable form, that is associated with a domain name as a DNS record for one purpose or another. The most frequent use of a TXT record is to add your site to an Internet search engine or to an analytics platform, which offers information about the web traffic to your web site. Setting up this type of a record may serve as proof that you're the Internet domain owner and they will provide the content that you should include as the value when you set up the record. Another purpose of a TXT record is to verify that an email message is sent by the domain address owner and from a reliable hosting server - this is the so-called SPF protection, which prevents any electronic address created under your domain to be forged and unauthorized people to send out spam making it appear like it was sent from your own mailbox. You can include any other info that you would like to be associated with your Internet domain in a TXT record as well.

Through a really user-friendly point-and-click interface, you'll only have to select one of your domain names or subdomains from a drop-down options menu, pick TXT for the type from a second menu, and type the actual content inside a box.
