DKIM, which is short for DomainKeys Identified Mail, is an authentication system, which prevents email addresses from being spoofed and email content from being modified. This is achieved by adding an electronic signature to each and every email message sent from an address under a particular domain name. The signature is issued on the basis of a private cryptographic key that is available on the outbound SMTP server and it can be verified with a public key, which is available in the global Domain Name System. Thus, any email message with changed content or a forged sender can be identified by email providers. This method will boost your web security dramatically and you will be sure that any message sent from a business partner, a bank, etc., is genuine. When you send out email messages, the recipient will also be sure that you are indeed the one who has sent them. Any email message that turns out to be fake may either be labeled as such or may never reach the receiver’s inbox, depending on how the given provider has chosen to handle such email messages.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Cloud Hosting

The DomainKeys Identified Mail functionality is activated by default for all domain names that are hosted in a cloud hosting account on our cloud hosting platform, so you will not have to do anything on your end to activate it. The only requirement is that the given domain should be hosted in a web hosting account on our platform using our NS and MX records, so that the emails will go through our email servers. The private cryptographic key will be generated on the server and the TXT record, which contains the public key, will be published to the global DNS system automatically, so you won’t need to do anything manually on your end in order to activate this option. The DKIM email authentication system will permit you to send trustworthy email messages, so if you’re sending a newsletter or offers to clients, for instance, your email messages will always reach their target destination, while unsolicited 3rd parties won’t be able to forge your email addresses.

DomainKeys Identified Mail in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you choose any of the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we are offering, you’ll be able to use the DomainKeys Identified Mail option with any domain that you register through your brand new semi-dedicated server account without any manual intervention, as our outstanding cloud hosting platform will set up all the compulsory records automatically, on the condition that the domain name uses our name servers. The latter is required for a TXT record to be created for the domain name, since this is how the public 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 a new email, it will carry our platform’s digital signature. The number of spam emails continues to grow each year and very frequently false email addresses are used, but if you use our hosting services, you and your customers or partners won’t need to bother about that.
