A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that holds information in human-readable form and not code. It may be created for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines, for example, have different ways of making sure you're the owner of a certain domain name and one of them is in fact by creating a TXT record with certain text which they provide and which you must use as the record value. The exact same verification method is being employed by some analytics platforms that check the traffic to your sites as well. Of course, in such a case the content of the record will be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally employed in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses so that you can prevent them from being forged. In cases like this, the record contains information showing that a given electronic message is sent from a dependable and authorized mail server. You can use a TXT record for any other information as well, such as your business details, for example.

Through a rather user-friendly point-and-click interface, you will only have to select one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down navigation, pick out TXT for the type from a second menu, and input the actual content inside a box.

If you want to validate your web site with Google, for instance, you will just have to log in to your account with them a couple of minutes later and ask them to check your domain or subdomain. It doesn't take more time for a TXT record to go live if you require it for any other purpose.
