A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain 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 web 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 additionally used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any other information as well, like your business details, as an example.
