DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an authentication system used to certify that an email has been sent by an authenticated individual or mail server. A digital signature is added to the email’s header by using a private cryptographic key. When the email is received, a public key that is available in the global Domain Name System is used to verify who actually sent it and if the content has been altered in any way. The essential task of DomainKeys Identified Mail is to hamper the widely spread scam and spam messages, as it makes it impossible to forge an email address. If a message is sent from an address claiming to belong to your bank, for example, but the signature doesn’t match, you will either not receive the email at all, or you will receive it with a warning alert that most probably it’s not authentic. It depends on mail service providers what exactly will happen with an email message that fails the signature test. DKIM will also offer you an extra protection layer when you communicate with your business allies, for example, as they can see for themselves that all the e-mail messages that you send are genuine and have not been modified in the meantime.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Website Hosting

You will be able to make full use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every Linux shared website hosting packages that we’re offering without having to do anything in particular, as the required records for using this email validation system are set up automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain to an existing account via the Hepsia Control Panel. If the particular domain uses our name server records, a private encryption key will be generated and stored on our mail servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS database. In case you send regular email messages to customers or business associates, they will always be delivered and no unauthorized person will be able to forge your address and make it seem like you have written a given email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you pick one of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we’re offering, you will be able to use DomainKeys Identified Mail protection with any domain name that you register through your brand new semi-dedicated server account without any manual intervention, as our top-notch cloud platform will set up all the compulsory records automatically, provided that the domain uses our name servers. The latter is needed for a TXT record to be set up for the domain, as this is how the public encryption key can become available in the global DNS system. The private key will also be added automatically to our mail servers, so anytime you send a new message, it will carry our system’s e-signature. The number of unsolicited bulk messages keeps rising each year and rather often fake addresses are used, but if you use our web hosting services, you and your clients or associates won’t have to bother about that.
