A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which keeps info in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a certain domain and one of them is by creating a TXT record with unique text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your websites as well. However, in such a case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it'll still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains info 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 as well, just like your business details, for instance.
