A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a particular 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 company details, as an example.
