A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of verifying you're the owner of a certain domain 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 keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Of course, in this 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 additionally used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, like your business details, as an example.
