DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which stops email addresses from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by adding an e-signature to every email sent from an email address under a particular domain name. The signature is created based on a private key that’s available on the outbound mail server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email with changed content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This approach will strengthen your web safety markedly and you will be sure that any email sent from a business partner, a banking institution, and so on, is a genuine one. When you send 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 show up in the recipient’s inbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to cope with such messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Website Hosting
If you buy one of the cloud website hosting that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be enabled as standard for any domain name that you register under your account, so you won’t need to set up any records or to activate anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel using our NS and MX resource records (so that the emails associated with this domain will be handled by our cloud hosting platform), a private encryption key will be generated momentarily on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. All addresses created with this domain will be protected by DKIM, so if you send email messages such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will know that they are genuine, because the DKIM option makes it impossible for unsolicited people to forge your e-mail addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you opt for one of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting plans offered by us, you will be able to use the DomainKeys Identified Mail protection service with any domain that you register through your brand-new account without any manual setup, as our innovative cloud hosting platform will create all the mandatory records automatically, on the condition that the domain uses our name servers. The aforementioned is needed for a TXT record to be created for the domain name, since this is how the public key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our email servers, so whenever you send out a new email, it will include our system’s digital signature. The number of spam messages continues to rise every year and very often bogus email addresses are used, but when you make use of our hosting services, you and your clients or partners will not have to worry about that.
