DKIM, which is an abbreviation for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email authentication system, which hinders email addresses from being forged and email content from being modified. This is done by adding a digital signature to every email sent from an email address under a particular domain. The signature is published on the basis of a private key that is available on the outbound email 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 providers. This method will strengthen your online safety immensely and you’ll be sure that any email sent from a business partner, a bank, and so on, is a legitimate 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 that appears to be counterfeit may either be tagged as such or may never end up in the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has decided to cope with such messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Hosting

When you get any of the Linux hosting that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be enabled by default for any domain that you add to your web hosting account, so you will not need to create any records or to activate anything manually. When a domain name is added in the Hosted Domains section of our custom-developed Hepsia Control Panel using our MX and NS records (so that the emails associated with this domain will be handled by our cloud web hosting platform), a private cryptographic key will be created instantaneously on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. All email addresses set up with this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target audience and the recipients will be sure that they are authentic, as the DKIM functionality makes it impossible for unsolicited individuals to forge your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All necessary DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be created automatically by our cloud hosting platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so in case you decide to buy a semi-dedicated server package, you won’t need to set up anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain name should use our name servers so that its DNS records can be managed by our company and as long as this requirement is fulfilled, a private cryptographic key will be generated on our mail servers and a public key will be added to the DNS system by a special TXT resource record. All email addresses that you create with the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for third parties to spoof any address. Both you and your partners or clients can take advantage of this option, since it will ensure a much higher level of security for your e-correspondence.
