DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which prevents email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being tampered with. This is done by adding a digital signature to every email sent from an address under a given domain. The signature is issued on the basis of a private encryption key that is available on the outgoing SMTP email server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. In this way, any message with changed content or a spoofed sender can be recognized by email service providers. This technology will strengthen your web safety greatly and you will be sure that any e-mail message sent from a business partner, a bank, and so on, is an authentic one. When you send messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be bogus may either be marked as such or may never end up in the receiver’s inbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to handle such emails.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You will be able to make use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every Linux shared hosting services that we offer without needing to do anything in particular, as the mandatory records for using this email validation system are set up automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain to an existing web hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the particular domain uses our name server records, a private cryptographic key will be issued and stored on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the global Domain Name System. In case you send regular email messages to customers or business allies, they’ll always be received and no unsolicited person will be able to spoof your email address and make it look like you have composed a given email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated hosting come with DKIM activated by default, so if you choose this type of hosting and you add a domain using our name servers via your Hepsia Control Panel, the records needed for the email validation system will be set up automatically – a private encryption key on our mail servers for the digital signature and a TXT resource record carrying the public key for the DNS database. Since the protection is set up for a specific domain, all email addresses created using it will carry a signature, so you won’t need to worry that the emails that you send out may not reach their destination email address or that somebody may fake any of your addresses and try to spam/scam people. This may be very important in case you use e-communication in your business, as your partners and/or customers will be able to distinguish authentic emails from counterfeit ones.
