Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, that is intended to stop the so-called e-mail spoofing where an email message is sent from one email, but to appear as being sent from another one, generally with the idea to fraud the recipient someway. If SPF protection is activated for a domain name, an exclusive record is generated for it in the Domain Name System and all the DNS servers around the world have it. The record features all e-mail servers that are permitted to send legitimate messages from an address part of the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the very first DNS server it goes to checks the SPF record and when the sending server is authorized, the message is forwarded to the targeted destination. In case, however, the sending server is not present in the SPF record for the given domain, the email message won't be submitted and it will be removed. If you employ this service, it'll prevent third parties from sending spam e-mails which look as if they have been sent from you.

SPF Protection in Cloud Web Hosting

You'll be able to activate the SPF protection service for your domains with only a couple of clicks in the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all our cloud web hosting. This carried out through the section bearing the same name and you'll be able to allow the protection for each domain on our revolutionary cloud hosting platform. Using a very convenient interface, all you have to submit is the hostname of the mail server which will be authorized to send out messages from your email addresses and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Last, but not least, you can add several servers too, when needed. When your email addresses are handled on our end, you can also take advantage of an even more secure option by setting a limit that messages can be sent only when your domain names include our MX records. This alternative cannot be applied when your website is here, while your emails are with some third-party service provider. Either way, the SPF protection solution can greatly improve your web protection and prevent others from counterfeiting your email addresses.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your domains in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to employ the SPF protection feature as part of the regular collection of services that you'll get using this type of web hosting. Starting the protection involves just a few simple steps inside the Hepsia Control Panel, so even in case you have never used this type of function before, you won't have any kind of issues. Through an exceptionally easy-to-navigate interface, you'll just need to type in the details of the mail server which will be certified to send messages from your addresses - its hostname (mail.server.com) and IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). Once the recently created record propagates, no one will be able to counterfeit any e-mail for that particular domain name and send email messages from a server different from the one you have entered. This doesn't specifically have to be our mail server, but when we take care of your emails, you're able to activate an additional level of security by selecting an option that emails can be send from addresses @your-domain.com only in the event that the domain employs our MX records. Our tech support staff will be able to assist you 24/7 in case you have any kind of questions regarding this service.
