A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, which keeps information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes.

The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet sites as well. Needless to say, 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 used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails in order to protect them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains info showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You may use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, like your business details, for instance.
