A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you must 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 this situation 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 also employed in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your company details, for instance.
