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 various purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for instance, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a certain domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you should use as the record value. The exact same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your Internet 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 furthermore employed if you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to shield them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any sort of other information as well, such as your company details, for example.
