A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that contains info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. However, in this situation 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 additionally 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 data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your company details, for instance.
