A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, that holds info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain or a subdomain for various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming you are the owner of a particular domain name and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your web sites as well. Needless to say, 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 also employed if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your e-mails so that you can shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, like your business details, as an example.
