A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually 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 employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for instance.
