A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, 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 also used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a particular digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your business details, for instance.
