Security Services

Hosting is not just about uploading your web site. It is about collaboration and communication where security is crucial. At Own Web Now we consider security to be the crucial part of your online business strategy and we include advanced spam and virus protection with every account. We have several custom systems which assure that virtually no spam gets through to your mailbox and you never receive any dangerous content such as viruses and mailware. We monitor all systems for any suspicious activity and dangerous content around the clock -- and we respond immediately.

• Realtime Blacklists
  Our systems monitor every piece of mail passed through our network and build statistical models of all the computers that connect to deliver mail. Because over 80% of spam is sent from infected computers on the Internet we build a real-time database of computers that are only sending spam and we reject connections from them in future.
  
  
• Spam Tracker
  Spammers make money by making you visit their web sites, call their phone numbers or use identifying strings for their operations. We build a database of these web sites and automatically block them before they reach your mailbox.
  
  
• SPF Spoofing Protection
  Spoofing is a term used to represent a spammer who uses false identity to send messages. You have probably received fake messages that look like they are sent by your bank or that appear as if you sent them to yourself. Many services on the Internet publish a list of mail servers that they use to send email from -- an address list. Own Web Now checks the address in the real-time and finds out if the message is legitimate or if it is a spoof.
  
  
• Authenticated SMTP
  Own Web Now provides you with an Authenticated SMTP which means that everyone who uses your email address must also provide a password to send that email. This makes falsifying your identity more difficult and helps keep you out of blacklists.
  
  
• Secured Communications
  Because your communication over the Internet can be intercepted by hackers, Own Web Now provides SSL encrypted connections which use the same level of security and encryption as your bank or your favourite ecommerce store. All communication between you and our mail servers is encrypted, making it impossible for a hacker to see the content of your mail.
  
  
• 6 Antivirus Engines
  Before a piece of email can reach your mailbox it is scanned by 6 different antivirus engines. Because not all antivirus vendors can respond immediately or identify a virus right away we use a multi-threaded approach in hopes of catching the virus with any available definition. This is the ultimate feature for your security and definitions are updated in real-time (unlike your home virus scanner which is only updated on weekly basis).
  
  
• Custom Whitelist & Blacklist
  Own Web Now gives you the ability to enforce your own policies as to what is and what is not spam. You can identify domains that you never wish to receive email from and you can identify domains from which you wish to receive email from regardless of its spam content.
  
  
• Malware and Exploit Protection
  Our security services actively protect your mailbox from any malware or dangerous content designed to attack your email client (such as Outlook, Outlook Express). We actively block attempts to send you executable files, files with dangerous extensions, files with multiple extensions that try to hide the real file type and so on.
