Spambots & Junk Email and how to beat them

Know that there are "spambots" out there that crawl the web and try and collect or "harvest" any email address from any website or mail server to which they can gain access.

All websites produced by have spam-resistant email addresses built in as a standard feature which makes it much more difficult for spambots to harvest your email address and later, use it to bombard you with spam emails or "junk mail".  

And don't forget that computer viruses may secretly access your computer's email address book and harvest the contents whilst you are on-line unless you have taken preventative measures and installed software and properly configured your system to prevent that from happening.

Sure, you can buy and install some great anti-spam software programs, but we offer an anti-spam programme that works very well. 

What you should know is if you purchase a website from all the email generated from your website is automatically passed through professionally-managed anti-spam filters at the server before it reaches your mailbox. So even if spambots do manage to decode the encrypted email addresses published on your website, any email junk that is being sent via that email address should end up in quarantine. And the same anti-spam measures are applied to ANY domain email alias you choose to use, whether that alias is published on your website or not. If ANY of your domain email addresses have been compromised by a spambot and used to send you junk, the anti-spam filter should quarantine the junk automatically until we rapidly change that particular "infected" email alias.   

 WE HAVE THE SOLUTION  TO SPAM - GET RID OF SPAM   JUNK PERMANENTLY FROM YOUR INBOX!

 "THIS JUNK EMAIL IS DRIVING ME NUTS!"

"This junk email is driving me nuts!" Have you heard yourself saying this? So what's the real spam solution then? More software, more tweaking and fiddling with inbox-rules and wizards? Actually, the answer is, none of the above!

If you are sick and tired of all the email spam you are getting in your inbox, owning your own domain is a very good way of starting afresh with your email. If an on-line organisation offers you free email accounts, ask yourself exactly why? Hosting an email account costs money, so what's in it for them? What's the catch?

The permanent anti-junk mail solution can offer you is to create your own bouquet of email accounts within your own domain, perhaps using your own family surname or business name as the domain name suffix.

Everyone in your immediate and extended family and friends can have their own personal email addresses.  And, if one email address falls prey to the hands of a spammer or a scammer then we'll simply ditch it and create another email alias. Our price depends on how many email aliases you require. Figure out how many you are likely to need and allow a few spare.

So how would you use them? Think of how many establishments already have your email address such as Banks, Credit Cards, Forums, Social Networking Sites, Employers, Suppliers, On-Line shopping accounts, Clubs, Newsletters, Friends, Associates et cetera, to name but a few. You can't quickly and easily ditch your current email address that is being spammed because they all have it! 

However, by owning your own domain, you would gradually, over the first few days or few weeks, allocate a unique prefix to each establishment (give them each an email address that is unique to them only), with your family domain name as the suffix, such as "bankname@mysurname.n-e-t". And then, when you had allocated everybody with their own unique email prefix, you could delete or un-subscribe your original email address that was getting loads of spam. And, goodbye spammers and junk email!

And, we also take steps to protect your primary email address (the one we give you) from being revealed in any email message, by using simple aliases.

No-one can pro-actively protect and support your email account as well a dedicated domain provider.

And that's what do!

Why bother with all this "domain" palaver? Simply because if you did allocate a dedicated email address and later found that it was being used by spammers to send you junk mail rubbish you could simply stop using that particular email address (delete it) and never give an email address to that particular organisation ever again, if you so chose. And, you would have a VERY good idea who was responsible for allowing your email address to be harvested or used by spammers because of the unique email prefix you had given them in the first place (and maybe you might want to put a flea in their ear about that and ask them how-come somebody else has gotten hold of a private and unique email address given to themselves only?). 

Responsible organisations never reveal private email particulars, but what about everybody else who has your email address?

 "I'M GETTING SO MUCH EMAIL RUBBISH THESE DAYS!"

"I'm getting so much email rubbish these days!" Heard yourself saying that recently? Owning your own domain to serve your email (whether or not you want a website as well) is a very good plan if you are totally and utterly fed-up with deleting email rubbish from your inbox every single day. To find out if your family name (or slight variations of it) is available as a domain name, please contact us. You can buy your domain through us, we can host your domain AND pro-actively support your email facility too. And no, you won't receive ANY spam email from us. We have a zero tolerance against spam.

Getting rid of spam permanently by using our solution is NOT free but at least it's 99.99% spam-free. Think about how our junk email solution could work for you?

For a small additional charge, you could, for example, purchase a one-page family website page with your address, telephone number, GPS co-ordinates, and "directions on how to get there" and "where to park when you reach us" kind of information, if that would be useful for your visitors or customers?  You could print the address (the URL) of your website domain on business cards or letter-heads if you wished.
 
N.B. You don't have to use your family name as your domain name, but is more memorable!
