A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of confirming you're the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you should use as the record value.

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 furthermore employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to prevent them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains information showing that a given digital message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, just like your business details, for instance.
