DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which prevents email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding a digital signature to every message sent from an address under a certain domain. The signature is issued on the basis of a private key that is available on the SMTP email server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any email with edited content or a forged sender can be spotted by mail service providers. This technology will enhance your online security greatly and you will be sure that any e-mail sent from a business associate, a banking institution, and so on, is genuine. When you send emails, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that turns out to be fraudulent may either be flagged as such or may never be delivered to the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to treat such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You will be able to make the most of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each Linux shared hosting that we offer without doing anything in particular, because the obligatory records for using this validation system are created automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active web hosting account using the Hepsia Control Panel. If the given domain uses our NS records, a private encryption key will be issued and stored on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS database. In case you send out regular email messages to clients or business associates, they will always be received and no unsolicited party will be able to spoof your address and make it seem like you have sent a given email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our Linux semi-dedicated hosting come with DKIM enabled by default, so in case you select a semi-dedicated server plan and you add a domain using our name servers via your Hepsia Control Panel, the records needed for the email authentication system will be created automatically – a private encryption key on our email servers for the electronic signature and a TXT resource record carrying the public key for the Domain Name System. As the protection is set up for a particular domain, all email addresses created using it will have a signature, so you will not have to worry that the messages that you send out may not reach their destination email address or that somebody may forge any of your addresses and attempt to scam/spam people. This may be rather important if you rely on email communication in your business, since your colleagues and/or customers will be able to distinguish genuine emails from phony ones.
