A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given 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 Internet sites as well. Needless to say, 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 additionally used when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, like your business details, for example.
