A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check 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 furthermore employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your company details, for instance.
