A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information as well, like your business details, for instance.
