A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. However, 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 additionally used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information also, such as your business details, as an example.
