A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, 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 unique text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, 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 if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, such as your business details, for example.
