DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an authentication system, which prevents email headers from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is done by attaching an electronic signature to every message sent from an address under a specific domain name. The signature is published on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be verified by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email message with modified content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by email service providers. This technology will heighten your web safety noticeably and you will be sure that any email message sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is an authentic one. When you send out email messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be fraudulent may either be tagged as such or may never end up in the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting

When you obtain any of the Linux cloud web hosting packages that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be enabled as standard for any domain that you add to your account, so you won’t need to set up any records or to enable anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS records (so that the email messages related to this domain will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private key will be created momentarily on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. All addresses created with this domain will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send out email messages such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the recipients will know that they are authentic, because the DKIM feature makes it impossible for unsolicited people to forge your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All needed DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be created automatically by our cloud platform when you add a domain as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you decide to order a semi-dedicated plan, you won’t need to configure anything to be able to take advantage of the email authentication system. The domain must use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed by our company and if this prerequisite is satisfied, a private cryptographic key will be generated on our mail servers and a public key will be sent to the DNS system by a special TXT resource record. All addresses that you set up using the domain name will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for third parties to spoof any email address. Both you and your associates or customers can benefit from this service, as it will guarantee a much higher level of protection for your online communication.
