A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain name 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 exact same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that check 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 additionally used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your company details, for example.
