A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your sites as well. Needless to say, 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 additionally used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, such as your business details, for example.
