DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a validation system used to certify that an e-mail message has been sent by an authenticated individual or server. An electronic signature is added to the email’s header using a private encryption key. When the email message is received, a public key that is available in the global Domain Name System is used to confirm who exactly sent it and if its content has been altered in any way. The principal job of DomainKeys Identified Mail is to stop the widely spread scam and spam messages, as it makes it impossible to fake an email address. If a message is sent from an address claiming to belong to your bank, for example, but the signature does not correspond, you will either not get the email at all, or you will get it with a warning notice that most likely it’s not genuine. It depends on email service providers what exactly will happen with an email which fails to pass the signature test. DKIM will also offer you an extra layer of safety when you communicate with your business associates, for example, since they can see that all the emails that you send are authentic and have not been manipulated in the meantime.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You will be able to make the most of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each Linux shared hosting that we are offering without the need to do anything in particular, since the mandatory records for using this authentication system are created automatically by our hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active account through the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the given domain name uses our NS records, a private cryptographic key will be created and kept on our email servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. If you send regular email messages to clients or business collaborators, they will always be received and no unauthorized individual will be able to spoof your email address and make it look like you have written a certain message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you pick one of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we are offering, you’ll be able to use the DomainKeys Identified Mail feature with any domain name that you register through your brand-new account without any manual setup, as our advanced cloud hosting platform will create all the compulsory records automatically, as long as the domain uses our name servers. The latter is required for a TXT record to be set up for the domain, as this is how the public cryptographic key can become available in the global Domain Name System. The private key will also be added automatically to our email servers, so whenever you send out a new email message, it will carry our platform’s electronic signature. The number of spam emails continues to grow every year and very often false email addresses are used, but when you use our hosting services, you and your clients or colleagues will not need to worry about that.
