A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of confirming you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your business details, for example.
