A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information as well, such as your company details, as an example.
