DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which prevents email headers from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each email sent from an email address under a specific domain. The signature is issued on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outgoing server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. In this way, any email message with changed content or a forged sender can be recognized by email service providers. This technology will strengthen your web safety substantially and you will know for sure that any email message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, etc., is authentic. When you send messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be phony may either be labeled as such or may never reach the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has chosen to cope with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to make the most of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each Linux cloud hosting services that we are offering without the need to do anything in particular, since the required records for using this authentication system are created automatically by our hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active hosting account through the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the given domain name uses our name server records, a private key will be issued and stored on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. If you send periodic email messages to clients or business partners, they’ll always be received and no unauthorized party will be able to spoof your address and make it seem like you have composed a certain message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail feature is included by default with any domain that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with us. It must also use our name servers, so that its DNS records are managed by our platform. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be set up, which is actually the public key that confirms if a given message is legitimate or not. Such a record is set up once a domain name is registered in a semi-dedicated account via the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is generated on our email servers. If you use our web and email hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target destination and you won’t have to worry about unsolicited individuals spoofing your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something rather important when you use email messages to touch base with your business allies.
