A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of verifying you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in this situation 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 when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information also, such as your company details, for instance.
