A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in this case the content of the record is going to 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 email addresses so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your company details, as an example.
