DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which stops email headers from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each email sent from an address under a certain domain name. The signature is created based on a private cryptographic key that is available on the outgoing SMTP mail server and it can be verified by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any email message with altered content or a forged sender can be spotted by email providers. This technology will increase your worldwide web safety considerably and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is authentic. When you send out emails, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be phony may either be labeled as such or may never reach the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has chosen to deal with such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Web Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is pre-activated for all domain names that are hosted in a shared web hosting account on our cloud servers, so you will not have to do anything on your end to enable it. The only condition is that the given domain should be hosted in a hosting account on our platform using our MX and NS records, so that the e-mails will go through our mail servers. The private key will be created on the server and the TXT record, which contains the public key, will be published to the Domain Name System automatically, so you will not need to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this feature. The DKIM email authentication system will allow you to send trustable emails, so if you are sending a newsletter or offers to customers, for example, your email messages will always reach their target destination, while unauthorized 3rd parties will not be able to spoof your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail protection service is offered by default with any domain that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with our company. It must also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our system. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is in fact the public key that verifies if a particular message is legitimate or not. This record is created when a brand new domain is registered in a semi-dedicated server account through the Hepsia Control Panel and at the same time, a private key is created on our mail servers. If you make use of our web and email hosting services, your messages will always reach their target viewers and you will not need to worry about unsolicited parties spoofing your addresses for spamming or scamming purposes, which is something pretty important when you use emails to touch base with your business collaborators.
