Hostnet Implements Email Filtering Service

Web hosting provider and domain name registrar extraordinaire Hostnet has teamed up with email security provider SpamExperts to introduce a filtering service for inbound and outbound emails on its network.

SpamExperts allows Web hosts to quell the amount of spam and viruses coming through their network, which helps prevent the company from being blacklisted and improves email backup and compliance services via email archiving. The company claims to have 99.98 percent filtering accuracy.

Hostnet will deploy SpamExperts' local cloud product on its virtual hardware instead of on the hosted cloud running the SpamExperts network. The platform will be managed and monitored by SpamExperts, who will also provide updates to the email security software.

This isn't the first time that a hosting company has enlisted SpamExperts' services. The company has also integrated with or provided plugins for cPanel, Plesk and Parallels Automation. Now, its email filtering service will be available to Hostnet's impressive client base of over 500,000 registered domain names and 100,000 subscriptions.

Hosting and cloud computing provider Rackspace this week announced the company has more than two million paid users of its hosted email offerings, including its proprietary Rackspace® Email, hosted Microsoft® Exchange and a hybrid offering of the two services.

What's the takeaway? Focus on what the users need and want. According to a statement from Rackspace, the company attributes the growth to its "reputation for helping businesses take advantage of a full portfolio of cloud offerings, its award winning Fanatical Support®, the cost savings that can be realized through its unique Hybrid offering, and the preference to use robust and familiar features like Microsoft Outlook®, Email Archiving and smartphone access in a business setting."

“We wanted to take advantage of a business class cloud-based email system that many providers couldn’t offer. Many of our users wanted the same user experience as Microsoft Outlook and access on mobile device,” said Kevin Durawa, IT Manager, RealtyUSA.com. “We are pleased with the ability to mix traditional Web and POP/IMAP clients with exchange depending upon the needs of our users. Rackspace has made transitioning over 2200 email accounts from our in house system to Rackspace seamless! Their continued support has been outstanding as well.”
