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

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is pre-enabled for all domains that are hosted in a cloud hosting account on our cloud servers, so you won’t need to do anything yourself to enable it. The only condition is that the given domain should be hosted in an account on our platform using our MX and NS records, so that the e-mail messages will go through our email servers. The private key will be created on the server and the TXT resource record, which contains the public key, will be published to the DNS database automatically, so you won’t need to do anything manually on your end in order to enable this option. The DomainKeys Identified Mail email validation system will allow you to send out credible e-mails, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to clients, for instance, your emails will always reach their target destination, while unauthorized third parties will not be able to spoof your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All mandatory 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 in case you choose to get a semi-dedicated hosting plan, you will not have to configure anything to be able to take advantage of the email validation system. The domain name must use our name servers so that its DNS resource records can be managed on our end and as long as this condition is satisfied, a private encryption key will be generated on our email servers and a public key will be published to the Domain Name System by a special TXT record. All email addresses that you create with the domain will be protected by DKIM, which will make it impossible for third parties to fake any email address. Both you and your associates or clients can take advantage of this service, since it will guarantee a higher safety level for your email correspondence.
