A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case 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 if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, like your business details, as an example.
