A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which 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 websites as well. However, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to shield them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your business details, as an example.
