A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a certain 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 employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, 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 additionally used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for example.
