A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds data in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of verifying that you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your sites as well. However, in this 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 also employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any other information also, like your company details, as an example.
