A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It can be created for a domain name or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and that you should use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your Internet sites as well. However, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is also employed when you activated the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any type of other information also, such as your business details, for instance.
