A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. However, in this situation 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 when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your business details, for example.
