DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which hinders email addresses from being forged and email content from being modified. This is done by attaching a digital signature to each email message sent from an address under a specific domain name. The signature is created based on a private key that is available on the SMTP email server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. Thus, any message with edited content or a forged sender can be recognized by mail service providers. This approach will boost your online safety markedly and you’ll be sure that any message sent from a business partner, a banking institution, etc., is legitimate. When you send out messages, the receiver will also know for sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any mail that appears to be bogus may either be labeled as such or may never show up in the receiver’s mailbox, depending on how the given provider has chosen to cope with such email messages.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Website Hosting
When you buy one of the Linux cloud website hosting that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be activated as standard for any domain that you add to your shared website hosting account, so you won’t have to create any records or to activate anything manually. When a domain is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel using our NS and MX resource records (so that the email messages associated with this domain name will be handled by our cloud platform), a private key will be generated right away on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. All addresses created with 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 genuine, since the DomainKeys Identified Mail option makes it impossible for unauthorized parties to forge your addresses.
DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you pick one of the semi-dedicated servers offered by us, you will be able to use the DKIM option with any domain name that you add to your brand-new semi-dedicated hosting account without any manual setup, as our outstanding cloud web hosting platform will create all the required records automatically, on the condition that the domain uses our name servers. The aforementioned is required for a TXT record to be set up for the domain, as this is how the public key can become available in the global DNS system. The private key will also be added automatically to our email servers, so whenever you send out a new message, it will include our system’s e-signature. The number of spam email messages continues to increase every year and quite frequently spoofed email addresses are used, but when you use our hosting services, you and your customers or partners won’t need to bother about that.
