A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The very same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in such a 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 furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, like your company details, for example.
