A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, 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 furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your business details, for example.
