DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a validation system used to verify that an e-mail has been sent by an authorized email server or individual. A digital signature is attached to the email message’s header using a private key. When the message is received, a public key that’s available in the global Domain Name System is used to verify who exactly sent it and if the content has been edited in any way. The principal purpose of DomainKeys Identified Mail is to avert the widespread scam and spam messages, as it makes it impossible to fake an email address. If an email message is sent from an address claiming to belong to your bank or financial institution, for example, but the signature doesn’t correspond, you will either not get the message at all, or you’ll receive it with a warning alert that most likely it is not legitimate. It depends on email providers what exactly will happen with an email message that fails the signature examination. DomainKeys Identified Mail will also supply you with an extra safety layer when you communicate with your business allies, for example, since they can see that all the e-mail messages that you send are genuine and haven’t been meddled with in the meantime.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You will be able to make use of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each and every shared hosting plans that we offer without needing to do anything in particular, since the compulsory records for using this validation system are created automatically by our website hosting platform when you add a domain name to an active account via the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the given domain name uses our name server records, a private encryption key will be created and kept on our mail servers and a TXT resource record with a public key will be sent to the global DNS system. If you send out regular messages to clients or business collaborators, they’ll always be delivered and no unauthorized person will be able to forge your email address and make it seem like you have sent a particular email message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

All mandatory DomainKeys Identified Mail records will be created automatically by our cloud web hosting platform when you add a domain as hosted in a semi-dedicated server account, so if you choose to get a semi-dedicated hosting package, you will not need to set up anything to be able to use the email validation system. The domain name should use our name servers in order for its DNS resource records to be managed on our end and in case this condition is satisfied, a private cryptographic key will be created on our mail servers and a public key will be added to the Domain Name System by a special TXT resource record. All addresses that you set up using the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for 3rd parties to forge any email address. Both you and your colleagues or customers can take advantage of this feature, as it will ensure a much higher protection level for your online correspondence.
