A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain 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 being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in this situation 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 also used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, like your business details, for instance.
