A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds info 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 example, have different ways of confirming that you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. However, 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 if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, like your business details, for instance.
