A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can prevent them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, like your company details, as an example.
