A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this 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 furthermore employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any other information as well, such as your company details, for example.
