A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text that they provide and that you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to shield them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a particular digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information as well, just like your business details, as an example.
