A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your 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 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 could use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, like your company details, for example.
