A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that contains information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you will 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. 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 additionally employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information also, just like your company details, for example.
