TXT Records

Understand what TXT records are and just what they are utilized for in the DNS system.

A TXT record, as the abbreviation implies, is a record, that contains information in human-readable form and not code. It can be set up for a domain address or a subdomain for a number of purposes. Search engines like Yahoo, for example, have different ways of confirming that you are the owner of a particular domain and one of them is actually by creating a TXT record with unique text that they provide and that you need to use as the record value. The exact same verification method is employed by some analytics platforms that monitor the traffic to your websites as well. Needless to say, in this case the content of the record is going to be read by a robot, but it will still be in human-readable form. A TXT record is additionally used in case you activated the so-called SPF protection for your email addresses in order to protect them from being forged. In this case, the record contains data showing that a particular electronic message is sent from a trusted and authorized mail server. You could use a TXT record for any type of other information also, just like your business details, for example.
