A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your 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 furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for example.
