A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. However, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a certain digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your company details, as an example.
