A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It could be created for a domain or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Google, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and which you will need to use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is furthermore used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In such a case, the record contains data showing that a certain digital message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, just like your company details, for instance.
