A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Of course, 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 activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a particular digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, just like your company details, for example.
