A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain address 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 and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, 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 employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information also, like your business details, for instance.
