A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that 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 web sites as well. Needless to say, in this 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 furthermore used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information also, like your business details, as an example.
