A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any other information also, just like your business details, for instance.
