A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you must use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites 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 also employed when 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 digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your company details, for example.
