A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check 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 used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a given digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information also, such as your company details, for example.
