DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which prevents email headers from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding an electronic signature to every email message sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is issued based on a private key that’s available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be validated with a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any email message with modified content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by email service providers. This approach will increase your web security tremendously and you’ll know for sure that any email sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is legitimate. When you send out email messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be fake may either be marked as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Web Hosting

You’ll be able to make full use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every Linux shared web hosting that we offer without the need to do anything specific, since the required records for using this email authentication system are set up automatically by our hosting platform when you add a domain to an active hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel. If the particular domain name uses our NS records, a private key will be created and kept on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. In case you send regular email messages to clients or business allies, they’ll always be received and no unsolicited party will be able to spoof your email address and make it seem like you’ve sent a certain email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All necessary DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be set up automatically by our cloud web hosting platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so in case you choose to order a semi-dedicated server plan, you won’t have to set up anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain should use our name servers so that its DNS records can be managed by us and provided that this prerequisite is met, a private cryptographic key will be created on our mail servers and a public key will be sent to the global DNS database by a special TXT record. All email addresses that you create using the domain name will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to forge any email address. Both you and your associates or clients can take advantage of this feature, as it will ensure a higher safety level for your online correspondence.
