A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web 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 additionally employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information also, such as your business details, for instance.
