A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is employed 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 is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your company details, as an example.
