A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, in such a 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 furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your business details, for example.
