A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which contains data in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address 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 name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your web 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 additionally employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, such as your business details, as an example.
