SPF, which abbreviates Sender Policy Framework, is a verification system that is aimed at preventing the so-called e-mail forging. Basically, this means sending some message from one e-mail and making it seem to be sent from another one with the purpose to scam in some manner the individual opening it. If the SPF protection is running for a domain name, a record which contains all the mail servers authorized to send messages with addresses under the domain is created. The record is saved on all DNS servers that direct the web traffic worldwide, so that they all can identify whether an email message comes from a valid server or not. The check is conducted at the very first server where the e-mail goes through and in the first case the message is forwarded, but in the second it's removed and it never reaches the intended recipient. Applying SPF records for your domain names will prevent any unwanted people from using your email addresses for harmful objectives.
SPF Protection in Cloud Hosting
You are able to enable the SPF protection service for your domains with a few clicks inside the Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with all our cloud plans. This is done through the section with the very same name and you'll be able to set up the protection for each domain name part of our modern cloud hosting platform. Using a really simple interface, all you'll have to submit is the hostname of the mail server that will be permitted to send messages from your e-mail addresses and its IPv4 or IPv6 address. Of course, you're able to add several servers as well, when needed. In case your email addresses are taken care of by us, you can also employ a more risk-free option by putting a limit that emails can be sent only when your domain names include our MX records. This option can't be used if your web site is hosted here, while your emails are with a third-party provider. In either case, the SPF protection option will definitely improve your online safety and stop others from counterfeiting your e-mail addresses.
SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you host your domain names in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you will be able to employ the SPF protection feature as a part of the standard set of services that you will have with this type of web hosting. Activating the protection will involve just a few easy steps in the Hepsia Control Panel, so that even in the event that you haven't employed this kind of feature before, you won't have any type of troubles. Using a really easy-to-navigate interface, you will only need to insert the details of the mail server that will be permitted to send messages from your e-mail addresses - its hostname (mail.server.com) and IP address (IPv4 or IPv6). Once the newly generated record propagates, nobody will be able to forge any e-mail address for that particular domain and send out e-mails from a server other than the one you've typed in. This does not specifically have to be our mail server, but when we handle your e-mails, you're able to enable an additional level of security by choosing an option that e-mails can be send out from addresses @your-domain.com only if the domain uses our MX records. Our tech support staff can help you 24/7 in case you have any questions related to this service.
