A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds data in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, like your company details, for instance.
