Getting The Most From Your Hosting. - Having a firewall...
(Page 2 of 3 )
Having a firewall as part of your hosting package, for example, is a great source of peace of mind. Its worth seeking a hosting provider that can scan attachments to ensure their virus-free, a hosting provider that is constantly updating their database of new viruses. Spam: And then there's spam. Yuck! We're all sick of it (your hosting provider sure is) and yet so many companies still don't seem to get it, continuing to spew it out indiscriminately. Well, you shouldn't have to deal with spam anymore, and many hosting companies are seeing to it.
Spam filters allow hosting companies to detect suspicious emails Ð for example, ones that have been sent out en masse to a list, or ones sent from addresses that don't match any in your personal address book. Some hosting companys spam filters can even learn over to time to match a growing list compiled partially by you and partially by your hosting company of unsolicited and unwelcome senders. Text analysis technology allows your hosting company to review the actual content in emails sent to you to discover impersonal, targeted marketing pitches, often matching those sent to others of their hosting clients.Then you let your hosting company know whether to automatically delete suspicious emails from your account or simply store them in a different mailbox for you to review at your convenience.
