A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your sites as well. However, 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 also employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your business details, for example.
