A TXT record, as the abbreviation indicates, is a record, which holds 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 Yahoo, for example, have different ways of verifying you're the owner of a given domain and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with specific text that they provide and that you should use as the record value. The very same verification method is used by some analytics platforms that keep track of the traffic to your Internet sites 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 furthermore used when you enable the so-called SPF protection for your emails in order to prevent them from being forged. In this case, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any kind of other information as well, just like your company details, for instance.
