Internet.nl checklist: scoring 100% with your website and email
This article applies to websites and email in a hosting package at WebOké.
At internet.nl you can test whether your website and email use modern security standards. With us you can score 100% if you follow the steps below.
Testing your website
- IPv6: you usually don't need to do anything for this. All domains have an IPv6 address by default. If it's missing, check whether the AAAA records in the DNS are still correct. Read IPv6 at WebOké.
- DNSSEC: you turn this on yourself under My Domains in My WebOké. Read Activating DNSSEC.
- HTTPS: install an SSL certificate on your website. Read Activating an SSL certificate.
- Redirecting to https: read Forcing visitors to redirect to https.
- HSTS: is enabled by default on most of our servers for every website with https, with a max-age of one year. If the test shows that HSTS is missing for your site, turn it on yourself. Read HSTS and security headers for your website.
- DANE: set this up in the same place as DNSSEC.
Testing your email
- IPv6 and DNSSEC: see above.
- SPF: is correct by default. If in doubt, read How does the SPF record work?
- DKIM: is enabled by default in DirectAdmin.
- DMARC: check whether a DMARC record exists. Read Creating a DMARC record and What is DMARC?
- DANE: set this up in the same place as DNSSEC.
Also see in the DirectAdmin manual: Always redirect visitors to https and Setting up DMARC.
