DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which obstructs email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is achieved by adding an electronic signature to each and every email sent from an address under a certain domain name. The signature is created on the basis of a private encryption key that is available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any message with altered content or a forged sender can be recognized by email service providers. This technology will strengthen your online safety dramatically and you’ll know for sure that any e-mail message sent from a business collaborator, a banking institution, etc., is authentic. When you send messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that appears to be fake may either be labeled as such or may never be delivered to the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to treat such emails.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting
When you order any of the Linux web hosting that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality will be enabled by default for any domain that you add to your website hosting account, so you will not need to create any records or to do anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-made Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS records (so that the email messages related to this domain name will be handled by our cloud hosting platform), a private encryption key will be issued immediately on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. All addresses created with this domain will be protected by DKIM, so if you send out emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the receivers will know that they are legitimate, as the DKIM functionality makes it impossible for unsolicited people to forge your email addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you choose any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we are offering, you will be able to use the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature with any domain that you add to your brand new semi-dedicated server account without any manual setup, as our innovative cloud web hosting platform will set up all the compulsory records automatically, on the condition that the domain uses our name servers. The latter is needed for a TXT resource record to be created for the domain, since this is how the public cryptographic key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our email servers, so anytime you send a new message, it will have our platform’s electronic signature. The number of spam emails keeps growing every year and quite often bogus addresses are used, but if you make use of our hosting services, you and your clients or partners won’t have to worry about that.
