A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, 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 furthermore employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your business details, for example.
