A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, which holds information in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a certain 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 exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in this situation 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 furthermore employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a given digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your business details, for example.
