SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a certification system that aims at protecting against the so-called email forging. Basically, this means sending a message from one email and making it seem to be sent from another with the purpose to scam in some manner the person getting it. If the SPF protection is active for a domain, a record that includes all of the mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses within the domain is generated. The record is placed on all the DNS servers that direct the web traffic worldwide, so that they all will recognize if an e-mail message comes from a trustworthy server or not. The check is done at the first server where the email goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, but in the second it is removed and it never reaches the intended recipient. Using SPF records for your domains will prevent any unwanted people from making use of your emails for harmful objectives.
SPF Protection in Shared Hosting
The SPF protection option is accessible by default with every single shared hosting package that we offer and you'll be able to use it without any difficulty to secure the e-mail addresses for any domain name hosted as part of your account. The service is handled through the Emails section of our outstanding, yet easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. All you need to enable the protection is to type the IP of the mail server plus its hostname - mail.server.com, for instance. When the protection is active, only this server will be able to send out email messages from e-mails created under the domain name that you've picked. Your e-mail addresses may be taken care of by a different company, but when we take care of them along with your web site, you can enable the option for your email messages to be sent only if the domain has our MX records. This selection provides you with superior security as solely our server will be permitted to send e-mails from your mailboxes and you will have superior control. When you have any questions or in case you have any sort of problems with this service, you can contact our technical support crew anytime and they will give you a hand in a timely manner.
SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that is included with all our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, provides you with a really user-friendly interface to enable the SPF protection service for each domain that you host in your new account. Just a few clicks in the Emails section of Hepsia will be enough for that and you'll only have to type in the hostname and the IP address of the mail server which will be permitted to send messages from your e-mails. When the emails are managed by us and not by a different supplier, you will be able to boost the protection level even more and enable an option for all the outgoing e-mail messages to be sent only if your domain names include our MX records. This option will give you increased control and it will eliminate any chance of anybody forging your e-mails with the intention of spamming and scamming people. It's not applicable in case only your site is on our hi-tech cloud web hosting platform, while your emails are managed by some other service provider. If you aren't sure what options to select, our technical support team will help you 24/7.
