A TXT record, as the abbreviation suggests, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It could be set up for a domain name or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of making sure that you are the owner of a given domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check 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 used if you enable the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In this situation, the record contains info showing that a certain electronic message is sent from a reliable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information also, like your company details, as an example.
