DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which prevents email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being modified. This is done by adding an e-signature to each and every email sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is created based on a private cryptographic key that is available on the outgoing mail server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any message with edited content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This technology will heighten your web security greatly and you will be sure that any e-mail sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is genuine. When you send messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that appears to be counterfeit may either be labeled as such or may never show up in the receiver’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has chosen to treat such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each shared hosting that we offer without having to do anything in particular, as the needed records for using this email validation system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active web hosting account using the Hepsia Control Panel. If the domain name in question uses our NS records, a private cryptographic key will be generated and stored on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. If you send out regular messages to customers or business associates, they’ll always be delivered and no unauthorized party will be able to spoof your email address and make it look like you have composed a certain email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All obligatory DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be created 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 get a semi-dedicated server plan, you won’t need to configure anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain name must use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed on our end and if this prerequisite is fulfilled, a private cryptographic key will be created on our email servers and a public key will be published to the Domain Name System by a special TXT resource record. All email addresses that you set up with the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to spoof any email address. Both you and your partners or clients can take advantage of this functionality, since it will ensure a much higher level of protection for your online correspondence.
