DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which impedes email headers from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is achieved by adding a digital signature to each email sent from an address under a specific domain name. The signature is created on the basis of a private key that’s available on the SMTP mail server and it can be validated with a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email message with changed content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This technology will boost your web security substantially and you’ll be sure that any message sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is genuine. When you send out messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be bogus may either be tagged as such or may never reach the recipient’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to cope with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to make full use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each shared plans that we offer without doing anything specific, as the needed records for using this email authentication system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain to an active hosting account using the Hepsia Control Panel. If the given domain name uses our name server records, a private encryption key will be generated and stored on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. If you send regular email messages to clients or business associates, they will always be received and no unsolicited individual will be able to forge your email address and make it seem like you have sent a given email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All compulsory DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be set up automatically by our cloud platform when you add a domain as hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, so in case you choose to get a semi-dedicated hosting package, you won’t have to set up anything to be able to take advantage of the email validation system. The domain should use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed by us and if this prerequisite is matched, a private cryptographic key will be generated on our mail servers and a public key will be published to the DNS system by a special TXT record. All email addresses that you set up with the domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, which will make it impossible for third parties to spoof any email address. Both you and your colleagues or clients can take advantage of this service, since it will guarantee a higher level of security for your online communication.
