A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a given domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore employed in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains data showing that a particular digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your business details, for instance.
