Boost your email deliverability with Domain Masking

In the fast-evolving space of email deliverability, landing in the inbox has never been more challenging. Innovation isn’t just an edge—it’s a necessity! That’s why we launched domain masking, a revolutionary approach pioneered by Emailguard.io for the cold email space. Not only does it enhance your email deliverability, but it also protects your sender reputation, ensuring your emails land in the inbox.

What is Domain Masking?

Domain masking helps you mirror your secondary domain to your primary domain without raising any red flags. You’re basically setting up a ‘masked’ domain that bypasses spam filters.

Here’s what it looks like:

You have your primary domain, for example emailguard.io

Then you have your secondary domain, tryemailguard.com

With domain masking, you’ll send your emails from your masked domain, like tryemailguard.com, which is consistent with your professional branding.

Why not traditional domain forwarding?

Traditional domain forwarding may seem like the simplest solution; however, it comes with significant drawbacks that can irreparably harm your domain reputation. Let’s explore why:

1. The risk of shared IPs:

Domain forwarding is typically done through your domain registrar, which assigns shared IPs. These IPs are often shared between hundreds or even thousands of other users. If any of these IPs are flagged or blacklisted, your domain becomes collateral damage.

2. Increased detection by Email Providers:

Email service providers or bots are incredibly adept at detecting 301 or 302 redirects. Traditional domain forwarding makes it easier for providers to distinguish between real websites and redirected links, resulting in flagged behavior.

3. Lack of Quality Assurance:

Traditional domain forwarding gives you little to no control over the quality of your IPs and typically doesn’t come with SSL certificates by default. This results in your domain appearing less secure and vulnerable to reputational harm.

Domain Masking with EmailGuard: Improve Email Deliverability

Domain masking is a comprehensive solution designed to tackle the challenges of email deliverability.

Clean IPs with Higher Reputation

With EmailGuard’s domain masking, you are assigned clean, high-reputation IPs. The IP pools are vetted and monitored to ensure they maintain a positive reputation. Avoid the risk of low reputation and blacklisted IPs so that emails are less likely to be flagged, boosting email deliverability.

Protect your Primary Domain

Domain masking is a strategic approach to protect your primary domain’s reputation. By using optimized masked domains for your email outreach, you isolate the risk associated with email deliverability challenges, such as being flagged as spam or blacklisted.

This helps ensure your primary domain remains reputable and credible, as perceived by email service providers and trusted by your customers or audience.

Managed SSL Certificates

We remove the complexity of managing and maintaining SSL certificates for your masked domains. We provide a hands-free approach to ensure your domain is always secure and compliant.
