A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information also, like your business details, for example.
