A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your sites as well. However, 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 in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for instance.
