Avoid phishing and spoofing emails on your behalf!
Why Domeinnaam Protection?
Email is an essential communication tool for everyone, but it is also vulnerable to abuse such as phishing and spoofing. Cybercriminals can send emails on behalf of your company, which can lead to reputational damage and loss of customer trust.
This is why major parties such as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft are setting stricter security requirements, including mandatory DMARC authentication. This applies not only to large companies, but to anyone sending emails. Regardless of the size of your business or the number of emails you send, it is crucial to prevent unauthorized users from misusing your domain name.

Frequently asked questions about Domain name protection:
Below are the most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed, please feel free to contact us!
Do I also need it as a small business?
Yes, even as a smaller company, it is crucial to protect your domain name. The number of emails sent does not matter here, what matters is that your customers do not receive fake emails supposedly sent on behalf of your company. By securing your domain, you prevent reputational damage and protect both your company and your customers from phishing and spoofing.
What is the impact for my business?
At the start of implementing domain name protection, we focus solely on monitoring. This means that no direct changes are made and there is no impact on your business operations. As a result, you will first gain insight into email traffic and possible abuses before any further security measures are taken.
What happens after the four weeks?
After four weeks of monitoring, you will receive a detailed report analyzing the security of your domain. This report provides insight into potential vulnerabilities and abuse attempts.
Would you like to continue monitoring and managing your domain name protection afterwards? Then we can prepare a customized quote for you.
What are the costs?
- Active domain: from €5 per month, including continuous monitoring and implementation of improvements.
- Non-active domains: One-time cost of €5 per domain, free thereafter.
This ensures that both your active and unused domains remain protected from abuse.
What is DKIM?
DKIM is a method of providing e-mails with a digital signature, allowing the sender to ensure the authenticity of the message. This allows the recipient to determine with certainty that the content and attachments have not been altered during transmission.
While DKIM is not anti-spam technology, it does help verify the authenticity of emails.
What is SPF?
Unfortunately, it is easy to send emails on behalf of another email address.
This is because, by default, the e-mail protocol does not check the sender rights of a domain. To prevent this, you can set up SPF records. These records determine which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain name, significantly reducing the chance of abuse.
What is DMARC?
E-mail has been around for more than half a century and has been the primary means of communication between organizations since the last decade. However, standard email security falls short.
To better secure e-mail traffic, various validation systems have been developed. For example, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and PayPal have introduced the DMARC specification as a security protocol for e-mail. DMARC builds on the existing authentication methods SPF and DKIM and helps protect your domain from phishing and spoofing attacks.
By implementing DMARC, you gain visibility into who is sending emails on behalf of your domain and can actively counter abuse.
What DMARC policies are in place?
When implementing DMARC, we follow a step-by-step approach with the following policy levels:
- Policy: None – We start monitoring without direct actions to understand email traffic.
- Policy: Quarantine – Unauthorized emails are quarantined so they do not go directly into the recipient’s inbox.
- Policy: Reject – Only authorized emails are accepted; all others are immediately rejected.
This tiered approach effectively protects your domain from misuse, such as phishing and spoofing.
Should I protect unused domain names as well?
Yes, even unused domain names should be protected. Even if you are not actively using them, malicious people can misuse them for phishing or spoofing. Taking appropriate security measures will prevent your brand name and reputation from being compromised.
Can I receive notifications when my domain name is misused?
Yes, with the DMARC reporting solution, you receive insightful notifications if someone abuses your domain for email traffic. This allows you to quickly respond to threats.
Can you also check international domains (.com, .eu, .be)?
Yes, we support virtually all domain extensions. Whether you use a .nl, .com, .eu or any other extension – we can analyze the security of your domain and advise on improvements.
Will my e-mail become more reliable with domain name security?
Yes, with properly configured SPF, DKIM and DMARC, your e-mail becomes more reliable. Mail servers recognize your emails as legitimate, reducing the chances of them ending up in spam.
Is DMARC mandatory?
No, but DMARC does count as an urgent recommendation under the “Comply to Explain” standards.

Can someone else send emails in the name of my domain?
Yes, if you don’t have security measures in place, malicious parties can use your domain name for spoofing. This can lead to phishing attacks, reputation damage and data breaches.
