A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in such a 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 also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your company details, for example.
