DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which stops email headers from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by adding an electronic signature to each and every email sent from an address under a particular domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. In this way, any email message with edited content or a spoofed sender can be spotted by mail service providers. This method will heighten your web security considerably and you’ll know for sure that any message sent from a business ally, a bank, and so on, is an authentic one. When you send email messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that turns out to be forged may either be marked as such or may never reach the receiver’s mailbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to cope with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting

You’ll be able to get the most out of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every Linux cloud web hosting packages that we’re offering without the need to do anything specific, because the compulsory records for using this validation system are created automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain name to an existing web hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the domain in question uses our name server records, a private cryptographic key will be created and stored on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. In case you send out periodic emails to clients or business allies, they will always be received and no unauthorized person will be able to forge your address and make it seem like you’ve sent a particular message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All compulsory DKIM records will be set up automatically by our cloud platform when you add a domain as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so in case you decide to purchase a semi-dedicated plan, you won’t need to set up anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain should use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed by our company and as long as this condition is met, a private cryptographic key will be generated on our mail servers and a public key will be published to the DNS database by a special TXT resource record. All addresses that you create using the domain name will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to fake any address. Both you and your partners or clients can take advantage of this functionality, as it will guarantee a much higher safety level for your e-communication.
