A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that contains data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. However, in this situation 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 used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, such as your business details, for example.
