A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains data in human-readable form and not code. It may be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of verifying that you're the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, in this situation the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used in case you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains data showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, just like your business details, as an example.
