A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a particular domain 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 being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, just like your company details, for instance.
