A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in this situation the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used if you activated 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 data showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, just like your company details, for instance.
