DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which obstructs email headers from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by adding an e-signature to each and every message sent from an email address under a certain domain. The signature is generated on the basis of a private cryptographic key that’s available on the SMTP mail server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any email message with changed content or a spoofed sender can be identified by email providers. This method will strengthen your web security substantially and you will know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business collaborator, a bank, etc., is an authentic one. When you send out messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be phony may either be labeled as such or may never enter the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting

When you obtain one of the Linux web hosting that we offer, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be enabled by default for any domain that you add to your shard hosting 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 in-house built 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 cryptographic key will be issued straight away on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. All addresses created using this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the receivers will be sure that they are legitimate, since the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to forge your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you opt for one of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we are offering, you will be able to use the DomainKeys Identified Mail option with any domain name that you register through your new semi-dedicated server account without any manual intervention, as our high-tech cloud hosting platform will set up all the necessary records automatically, as long as the domain uses our name servers. The latter is needed for a TXT resource record to be set up 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 message, it will have our platform’s e-signature. The number of unsolicited bulk email messages continues to rise every year and quite often fake email addresses are used, but when you use our hosting services, you and your clients or colleagues won’t need to worry about that.
