A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that 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 check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, in such a case 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 additionally used if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a certain digital message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any type of other information as well, such as your company details, as an example.
