DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which obstructs email addresses from being forged and email content from being tampered with. This is done by attaching an electronic signature to every email sent from an address under a given domain name. The signature is generated based on a private cryptographic key that’s available on the SMTP email server and it can be verified using a public key, which is available in the global DNS database. In this way, any message with altered content or a spoofed sender can be identified by mail service providers. This approach will boost your worldwide web safety considerably and you will know for sure that any e-mail sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is authentic. When you send out messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be bogus may either be marked as such or may never end up in the receiver’s mailbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to cope with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Web Hosting

If you purchase one of the Linux web hosting packages that we are offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature will be enabled by default for any domain name that you add to your account, so you won’t need to set up any records or to do anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our in-house developed Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS records (so that the emails related to this domain name will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private key will be created instantaneously on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the Domain Name System. All addresses created with this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send emails such as periodic newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the receivers will be sure that they are genuine, since the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature makes it impossible for unauthorized persons to forge your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you select any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages offered by us, you will be able to use the DKIM feature with any domain that you add to your brand-new semi-dedicated account without any manual intervention, as our advanced cloud platform will set up all the obligatory records automatically, provided that the domain uses our name servers. The aforementioned is required for a TXT record to be set up for the domain name, since this is how the public encryption key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our mail servers, so whenever you send a new email, it will carry our platform’s e-signature. The number of spam messages keeps rising each year and quite often bogus addresses are used, but if you use our web hosting services, you and your customers or colleagues won’t have to bother about that.
