Email remains the most exploited attack vector for phishing, spoofing, and business email compromise (BEC). Hosting providers already play a critical role in securing their customers’ online presence, from maintaining uptime to managing domains. However, there is a growing security gap that often goes unaddressed: email authentication.
Without DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance), customers’ domains remain vulnerable to impersonation attacks that can cause severe reputational and financial damage. For hosting providers, offering DMARC should no longer be a nice-to-have feature – it is an essential part of a modern, competitive service portfolio.
The Growing Market Demand for DMARC Managed Services
- 91% of cyberattacks begin with phishing or email spoofing.
- Attackers can send fraudulent emails that appear to come from legitimate domains, without ever gaining access to a company’s servers.
- These attacks erode trust in the targeted brand, and by association, the hosting provider responsible for the domain.
- Without DMARC, SPF, and DKIM properly configured, there is no reliable way to differentiate between legitimate senders and malicious actors.
Hosting providers are in a unique position to close this security gap before it becomes a customer crisis.
Why Hosting Providers Should Offer DMARC
1. Brand Trust Protection: Customers expect their hosting provider to safeguard every aspect of their digital presence. Offering DMARC ensures their domains cannot be hijacked for phishing campaigns.
2. High-Value Revenue Stream: Email authentication is a high-margin, low-maintenance service that can be bundled with hosting or security packages.
3. Customer Retention: Security services increase client loyalty. Customers who rely on their provider for compliance and protection are far less likely to switch to competitors.
4. Compliance and Regulatory Alignment: DMARC is increasingly being mandated and recommended by governments, payment processors, email service providers, and industry bodies.
5. Network Reputation Protection: By preventing domain spoofing, hosting providers also protect their own IP reputation, reducing spam complaints and abuse reports.
