DDos Attack Protection

If you have been trying to deliver many email messages or support your own email domain, you know how hard and costly it can become.

Sending emails in large quantities is not easy. In addition to managing your subscribers lists correctly, you need to make sure that most of your emails reach their destination.

If you are working with a shared email server, you can easily be banned for somebody else’s mistake, because an entire IP or an IP range is banned taking everybody who uses this IP with it.

If you have your own email server to send your email, it is private to you and nobody else. Our SMTP server has tons of built in features to deliver email and protect you from spammers.

We support multiple RBL servers to filter out those spammers and we can white list or black list entire IP ranges with sophisticated checking, so that only those who are authorized to relay messages will be able to do so.

Email Delivery Server is an easy-to-use yet pwoerful utility that integrates everything you need for mass miling. It featuresparametrized mailing lists, where you can import very large list of your subscribers, even with all their additional fields such as Name, address and so on and then write one email message with parameters.

Our server substitutes all parameters with correct values on the fly. That is not all, our server is a complete sending and receiving solution, so in addition to being able to relay messages, it is also able to receive them for any number of domains and any number of users that you manage.

We have built in POP3 protocol and allow all our users to get their email from our server directly. Each user’s settings are configurable and you can even set each user’s mailbox size and other parameters individually.

Here are some key features of “Email Delivery Server”:

independence from email service providers (ESP);
support of SMTP and POP3 protocols;
message queue and mailbox encryption;
incoming SPAM filtering and sender blocking;
SSL/TLS encryption for SMTP and POP3;
DDoS attack prevention and firewall features;

A WHOIS domain search is an online utility that everyone can use to conduct a domain name search. When a search is conducted, private information about the domain name can be found. Such information can be useful for several parties.

The webmaster.

As the webmaster of the website, you can do a WHOIS search to find out if the domain name servers have been updated. Usually, a DNS change takes just several hours. In rare cases, it can take up to 48 hours. When the update is completed, the primary and secondary DNS will show up in the search results. This is a clear indication that the update has been completed.

The domain name buyer.

An individual may be interested in a domain name, but the name is already registered. By conducting a WHOIS search, the interested buyer can find out when the domain is expiring. He may then try to buy the domain if it’s not renewed. Alternatively, he may try to contact the domain owner directly by writing an email to the owner. Contact information is available with the search.

The spammer.

Spammers like to conduct WHOIS search to harvest email addresses. They then send unsolicited emails to these addresses in an attempt to market some product or service. The act of sending a spam email is illegal. Still, thousands of spam emails go out everyday because it is very hard for the authorities to catch up with the spammers.

The hackers.

This malicious group of individuals make a WHOIS search to find out where a website is hosted (based on the DNS). They then try to attack the servers. One popular method include a DDOS attack. Hackers send data packets to the servers until the servers slow down to a crawl. If protection software is not installed, the server can be crippled for hours.

As you can see, some people use the information for commercial purposes, while others use it for malicious purposes. You want to avoid attracting attention from the spammers and hackers. The only way you can do that, is to protect your domain name information. You can do so by signing up for domain privacy. This requires you to pay a small fee, but if you don’t want to reveal your personal details, it’s a useful little feature.

After you have signed up for the feature, your information will not be revealed in a WHOIS search. All the server info, personal emails and addresses will be kept private and confidential. This is one measure you can take to ensure that your website stays secure. For someone who intends to do mischief on your site, they will have problems acquiring the necessary information.

Protecting personal information is important and it entails the safety of you and your family members. So paying a small fee for the domain privacy may be worth it.

Domain registration details can be revealed via WHOIS search. Protect your personal details with domain privacy feature. Ipage hosting and ipage domain info are posted in thisipage coupon and review website.
