A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds data in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain name or a subdomain for a variety of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, 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 furthermore employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your business details, for instance.
