A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in this situation 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 when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your company details, for example.
