A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains information in human-readable form and not code. It could 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 that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you should use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in such a 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 if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can shield them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, such as your company details, for example.
