Sender Policy Framework, or SPF, is a verification system, which is used to stop the so-called email spoofing where an e-mail message is sent from one address, but to look as being sent from a different one, typically with the idea to scam the recipient someway. If SPF protection is enabled for a domain name, a special record is created for it in the Domain Name System and all of the DNS servers worldwide get it. The record includes all email servers that are permitted to send authentic messages from an e-mail address within the domain. When an e-mail is sent, the very first DNS server it encounters verifies the SPF record and if the sending server is authorized, the message is sent to the targeted destination. When, however, the sending server is not present in the SPF record for the given domain, the e-mail message won't be sent and it will be removed. When you use this solution, it'll stop third parties from sending spam messages which appear to have been sent by you.

SPF Protection in Web Hosting

The SPF protection feature is accessible by default with every single web hosting package that we offer and you are able to use it without any difficulty so as to protect the email addresses for any domain hosted as part of your account. The service is controlled through the Emails section of our cutting-edge, and easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel. All it takes to enable the protection is to type the IP address of the email server plus its hostname - mail.server.com, for instance. As soon as the protection is activated, only this server will be able to send email messages from emails created under the domain name that you've selected. Your email addresses can be taken care of by another company, but if we take care of them along with your site, you can activate the option for emails to be sent only when the domain uses our MX records. This solution provides you with better security as only our server will be permitted to send out e-mails from your mailboxes and you'll have better control. When you have any questions or if you have any sort of problems with this service, you'll be able to contact our technical support team at any time and they'll help you right away.

SPF Protection in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The SPF protection feature comes with all of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting, so in case you host your domain names in an account on our cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to use this service with ease for all your domains. The Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with the semi-dedicated accounts, features a really user-friendly interface, therefore you do not need to be proficient in the use of computers in order to protected your emails. You'll only have to type the hostname and the IP address of each mail server that you would like to be certified to send out emails from your addresses and immediately after that the updated record will be active for the domain that you have selected. As an extra option, we also give you the ability to restrict the outgoing e-mail messages and protect your mailboxes even further by allowing emails to be sent only if the domain name involved includes our MX records i.e. the emails for the domain have to be managed on our end and not by some other supplier. Thus you'll have even better control and there won't be any chance for anybody to fake your e-mails for harmful intentions.
