A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds info in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for many different purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of verifying you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. Exactly the same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your websites as well. However, in this situation 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 used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can shield them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any sort of other information also, such as your company details, for instance.
