A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in this case the content of the record will 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 in order to shield them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your company details, for instance.
