A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of verifying you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, like your company details, as an example.
