DKIM, which is an acronym for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which stops email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by adding a digital signature to each and every email message sent from an email address under a certain domain name. The signature is created on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outgoing 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 changed content or a forged sender can be recognized by email service providers. This method will enhance your online security significantly and you’ll be sure that any e-mail sent from a business associate, a banking institution, etc., is an authentic one. When you send out messages, the receiver will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be phony may either be tagged as such or may never appear in the receiver’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to handle such emails.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Website Hosting
If you purchase one of the cloud website hosting packages that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be activated by default for any domain that you register under your shared web hosting account, so you won’t need to create any records or to do anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS resource records (so that the emails related to this domain will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private cryptographic key will be issued instantly on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. All addresses set up using this domain name will be protected by DKIM, so if you send emails such as periodic newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the recipients will be sure that they are authentic, since the DKIM option makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to forge your e-mail addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The DomainKeys Identified Mail option comes by default with any domain that’s added to a semi-dedicated server account with us. It must also use our name servers, so that its DNS resource records are handled by our platform. The latter makes it possible for a special TXT resource record to be created, which is actually the public cryptographic key that verifies if a given message is authentic or not. Such a record is set up when a domain name is added to a semi-dedicated hosting account via the Hepsia Control Panel and in the meantime, a private key is created on our mail servers. If you make use of our email and web hosting services, your emails will always reach their target viewers and you won’t need to worry about unsolicited persons spoofing your email addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is essential in case you use email messages to communicate with your business allies.
