A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that contains info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this 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 also employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a particular digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, such as your company details, as an example.
