DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a validation system, which stops email addresses from being forged and email content from being meddled with. This is achieved by attaching a digital signature to every message sent from an email address under a particular domain name. The signature is created on the basis of a private key that is available on the outgoing SMTP mail server and it can be validated by using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email with changed content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This technology will heighten your worldwide web safety greatly and you will be sure that any e-mail sent from a business partner, a banking institution, and so on, is legitimate. When you send email messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be counterfeit may either be tagged as such or may never appear in the recipient’s mailbox, based on how the particular provider has chosen to cope with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Web Hosting

When you order any of the cloud web hosting plans that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be activated as standard for any domain that you add to your shared web hosting account, so you won’t have to set up any records or to enable anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel using our NS and MX resource records (so that the emails related to this domain will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private key will be generated immediately on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. All addresses set up using this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send out emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the recipients will know that the messages are genuine, because the DKIM feature makes it impossible for unsolicited parties to spoof your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All obligatory DKIM records will be set up automatically by our cloud hosting platform when you add a domain as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you decide to order a semi-dedicated hosting package, you won’t need to set up anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain name must use our name servers in order for its DNS resource records to be managed by us and if this prerequisite is fulfilled, a private cryptographic key will be generated on our email servers and a public key will be sent to the global DNS system by a special TXT resource record. All email addresses that you set up with the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to forge any email address. Both you and your associates or clients can take advantage of this service, since it will ensure a higher safety level for your email correspondence.
