DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which obstructs email addresses from being forged and email content from being manipulated. This is done by adding an electronic signature to each message sent from an email 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 by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with modified content or a forged sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This approach will boost your web safety dramatically and you’ll be sure that any email sent from a business associate, a banking institution, and so on, is an authentic one. When you send email messages, the recipient will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that appears to be fake may either be marked as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s inbox, based on how the given provider has chosen to deal with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

If you purchase any of the cloud hosting that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be activated by default for any domain that you register under your shared website hosting account, so you will not 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 NS and MX records (so that the email messages associated with this domain name will be handled by our cloud platform), a private cryptographic key will be generated momentarily on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. All email addresses created using this domain name will be protected by DKIM, so if you send emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the receivers will be sure that the messages are authentic, as the DKIM feature makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to forge your addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail protection service is included 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 certain email message is legitimate or not. Such a record is created the moment a domain name is registered in an account via the Hepsia Control Panel and at the same time, a private key is created on our email servers. If you use our web and email hosting services, your email messages will always reach their target audience and you will not need to worry about unauthorized people spoofing your addresses for scamming or spamming purposes, which is something very important if you use email messages to touch base with your business allies.
