DKIM, which stands for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an email validation system, which prevents email headers from being spoofed and email content from being manipulated. This is achieved by adding an e-signature to every email sent from an address under a given domain name. The signature is created based on a private encryption key that is available on the outgoing email server and it can be validated using a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with changed content or a forged sender can be spotted by email service providers. This approach will strengthen your worldwide web safety greatly and you’ll know for sure that any email sent from a business ally, a banking institution, and so on, is an authentic one. When you send messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email that turns out to be fake may either be tagged as such or may never end up in the recipient’s inbox, depending on how the particular provider has decided to deal with such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

When you purchase one of the Linux cloud hosting that we’re offering, the DomainKeys Identified Mail option will be enabled as standard for any domain name that you add to your shared account, so you will not have 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 NS and MX resource records (so that the emails associated with this domain name will be handled by our cloud hosting 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 global DNS database. All addresses set up using this domain name will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, so if you send emails such as regular newsletters, they will reach their target destination and the recipients will know that the messages are genuine, as the DKIM functionality makes it impossible for unsolicited individuals to spoof your e-mail addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All mandatory DomainKeys Identified Mail 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 in case you choose to purchase a semi-dedicated server package, you won’t have to set up anything to be able to take advantage of the email validation system. The domain should use our name servers in order for its DNS resource records to be managed on our end and in case this prerequisite is met, a private encryption key will be created on our email servers and a public key will be published to the DNS database by a special TXT record. All email addresses that you create using the domain will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, which will make it impossible for third parties to forge any address. Both you and your partners or clients can benefit from this service, since it will ensure a higher protection level for your online correspondence.
