A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites 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 also employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a given digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your company details, for instance.
