SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a validation system that is aimed at preventing the so-called e-mail faking. Essentially, it indicates sending some message from one email address and making it appear to be sent from another with the objective to scam in some manner the individual getting it. When the SPF protection is active for a domain, a record that contains all the mail servers authorized to email messages with addresses under the domain is made. The record is placed on all of the DNS servers that route the web traffic across the globe, thus they all can recognize whether an email message comes from a valid 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's removed and it never reaches the supposed recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will prevent any unwanted people from making use of your emails for malicious purposes.
SPF Protection in Shared Web Hosting
You'll be able to activate the SPF protection option for your domains with only a couple of clicks from the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all our shared web hosting service. This carried out through the section with the same name and you can set up the protection for each domain name hosted on our leading-edge cloud platform. Using a very user-friendly interface, all you need to enter is the hostname of the mail server which will be accredited to send messages from your e-mails and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Of course, you are able to include several servers too, if needed. If your emails are handled on our end, you may also take advantage of a more risk-free option by putting a restriction that e-mail messages can be sent only if your domains have our MX records. This solution cannot be used when your website is hosted here, and your e-mails are with some third-party provider. Either way, the SPF protection solution will greatly enhance your web security and prevent others from forging your email addresses.
SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your domains in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to use the SPF protection feature as a part of the standard set of services that you will have with this type of hosting. Activating the protection involves only a few simple steps in the Hepsia Control Panel, therefore even if you haven't used this type of function before, you will not have any type of issues. Employing a really easy-to-use interface, you will only need to enter the details of the mail server which will be permitted to send messages from your addresses - its hostname (mail.server.com) and IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). As soon as the newly made record propagates, no one will be able to forge any email address for that particular domain name and send out e-mails from a server different from the one you've typed in. This doesn't necessarily have to be our mail server, yet if we manage your email messages, you'll be able to allow an additional level of security by choosing an option that emails can be send out from addresses @your-domain.com only in case the domain employs our MX records. Our tech support staff will be able to assist you 24/7 in case you have any questions related to this service.
