A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Of course, in such a 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 furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information also, just like your company details, as an example.
