A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Google, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and which you must use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in this case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, such as your company details, for instance.
