A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that 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 web 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 also employed in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information also, like your company details, for instance.
