A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your business details, for instance.
