DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, is a method for checking the authenticity of an email using an electronic signature. When DKIM is activated for a given domain name, a public key is published to the global Domain Name System and a private one is kept on the email server. When a new email is sent, a signature is issued using the private key and when the email is delivered, that signature is ‘scanned’ by the POP3/IMAP server using the public key. Thus, the recipient can easily know if the email is genuine or if the sender’s email address has been spoofed. A discrepancy will appear if the content of the email has been altered in the meantime as well, so DomainKeys Identified Mail can also be used to ensure that the sent and the received emails are identical and that nothing has been added or removed. This validation system will enhance your email safety, since you can validate the legitimacy of the important email messages that you get and your associates can do the same with the email messages that you send them. Based on the particular email provider’s policies, an email that fails to pass the test may be removed or may be delivered to the recipient’s mailbox with a warning flag.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Shared Hosting

You’ll be able to take advantage of DomainKeys Identified Mail with each shared hosting packages that we are offering without having to do anything in particular, because the mandatory records for using this validation system are created automatically by our web hosting platform when you add a domain name to an existing web hosting account using the Hepsia Control Panel. As long as the particular domain uses our NS records, a private cryptographic key will be created and stored on our email servers and a TXT record with a public key will be sent to the DNS system. In case you send regular email messages to clients or business allies, they’ll always be received and no unauthorized individual will be able to spoof your email address and make it look like you have sent a certain message.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All necessary DKIM records will be created automatically by our cloud web hosting platform when you add a domain name as hosted in your semi-dedicated server account, so if you decide to purchase a semi-dedicated plan, you will not have to set up anything to be able to use the email authentication system. The domain name should use our name servers in order for its DNS records to be managed by our company and if this prerequisite is satisfied, a private 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 addresses that you create with the domain will be protected by DomainKeys Identified Mail, which will make it impossible for third parties to fake any address. Both you and your associates or customers can take advantage of this functionality, as it will ensure a much higher level of safety for your email communication.
