A Managed Private Server (MPS) is a vServer provided by us with a Plesk interface. It can be viewed as a web hosting service with more resources, which also allows for customization of web, database and mail servers as well as Plesk.

An MPS combines performance with the familiar convenience of reseller web hosting and is ideal for businesses and users who want maximum performance and a customized runtime environment for their websites, e.g. high-traffic websites and online stores. MPSs are KVM-virtualized and are not dedicated servers.

You can find an overview of the MPS plans offered by netcup here: Managed Private Server

An SPF-Record allows emails to be sent from the server specified in the A-Record and the MX-Record as well as from our mail relay. This allows third parties to verify that the email actually originated from the domain owner.

An SPF-Record could be as follows:

• Host: @
• Type: TXT
• Destination: v=spf1 mx a ~all

The SPF always (all) applies when the IP address of the MX-Record (mx) or the A-Record (a) matches the sender's domain.

A DKIM-Record adds a digital signature to ensure that emails have not been altered and come from the correct sender.

A DKIM-Record could be as follows:

• Host: key1._domainkey, key2._domainkey
• Type: CNAME
• Destination: key1._domainkey.webhosting.systems, key2._domainkey.webhosting.systems

To configure DKIM-Records on an external DNS server, this must first be enabled by our Customer Support team.

Next, proceed as follows:

1. Log in to the Customer Control Panel (CCP).
2. Go to the Products menu item.
3. In the Search section, select the managed private server category from the drop-down menu.
4. Click Search.
5. Click the magnifying glass icon next to the product you want.

13. Select the appropriate domain.
14. Go to the DNS tab.
15. Enter the copied records as TXT-Records.
16. Click Save DNS records.

A DMARC-Record specifies what receiving mail servers should do if SPF or DKIM fail. It governs how recipients should handle spoofed emails and sends reports about unauthorized senders to your IP address.

A DMARC-Record could be as follows:

• Host: _dmarc
• Type: TXT
• Destination: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; adkim=r; aspf=r; rua=mailto:example@third-party-example.com;

A DMARC-Record stores a domain's DMARC policy and is stored in the Domain Name System (DNS) as a DNS-TXT-Record. A DNS-TXT-Record can contain almost any text that a domain administrator wishes to associate with their domain.

Within the runtime environment (Plesk with web, database and mail servers), customizations are possible as long as they do not require administrator or root privileges. You can contact our Customer Support team to inquire whether the customization you want is possible.

Redis is an in-memory database with a simple key value store. It belongs to the family of NoSQL databases and is non-relational. Redis is open source and, according to a survey by DB-Engines.com, is the most widely used key value store.

Our Customer Support team installs the Redis version from the official repositories on managed servers.

PostgreSQL (often referred to as "Postgres" for short) is a powerful, open-source object-relational database management system (ORDBMS).
