I am including an email sent to me from a person claiming that he is from the FBI and that he has money for me.  Note: If you receive an email claiming that they want to “give you money” but it requires for you to send money “DON’T DO IT”.  This is a scam.  Please read…

Yes, and that is the only way that we can describe what happened to a customer that is moving his website to our services. 

We have been working on a website for a customer for the last couple of weeks.  We are in the final steps and he decided to move his domain to us so we could easily manage the process.  I explained to him that he needed to go to his registrar and ask for an EPP code.  This security code is used to ensure that it is the customer transferring the domain and not some other person.  He was transferred several times to find out that the domain that he registered over 4 years ago did not belong to him, but that it belonged to the web hosting company that he used to register the domain. 

I thought he was just joking, so I called the company myself .  After being transferred several times the customer service representative explained to me that the domain was not owned by the customer BUT that it was owned by the webhosting company.  She also explained that for a release fee of 99.00 dollars they would release the domain and we would be able to transfer the domain to JICHOST.COM. 

I still cannot believe that this HUGE Company takes advantage of people by registering the domain to them.  They were offering FREE domain registration.  Well, it is free as long as you are hosting with them but the moment that you want to transfer your domain to another registrar they place this HUGE transfer fee of $99.00 dollars.

The web hosting company that shall remain anonymous, offered them free 90 days hosting and a few other things but he opted for the personal and professional service that we are known for.  As you all know, JICHOST.COM is dedicated to provide you with the best webhosting experience at the best possible price and that is our promise.

So next time that you are planning to register a domain with another company please make sure that you will be the owner of the domain and that you will have access to make DNS changes, make additions or corrections to your domain. 

Thank you to our customers and we look forward to serving you.

Spam can be defined as unsolicited email.  It is a problem that is affecting business as well as individuals all over the world.  I read that an estimated 90 billion unsolicited emails (spam mail) PER DAY were sent in 2007.  That is 5 billion spam emails more per day than 2006.  That number sounds huge.  Another fact is that the cost of fighting spam in 2007 in the United States alone was over 13 billion dollars.  That included equipment, software and manpower used to fight spam. 

Last year I decided to offer our customers spam filtering service.  Today more than 48 domains are subscribed to our Spam Filtering Service.  How does it work?  Last month in February over 57,340 emails were received.  Out of this number only 3771 emails were good.  That means that over 53,569 emails were spam!  Over 1700 emails contained viruses. All of these were stopped by our Spam Filtering Servers.  We route all email to a server that it’s only job is to clean emails.  This server utilizes the latest in spam fighting technology with black listing, Bayesian filtering, reverse block listing, hash signatures and checksums to catch 99% of spam with near zero false positives.We clean your email, check attachments for viruses, worms, Trojan horses and all the stuff that you don’t want in your email. 

Another advantage is since this is a separate server just for that, if your email system was to go down then our servers will continue to accept emails and once your system is up again you will receive all of the email.  Is like having a backup email server.  Now this service is completely free to all our customers.  If you are hosting with us and you would like to take advantage of this feature open a support ticket asking us to add this service to your account.  Once again this is free to our hosting customers.  But if you are not hosting with us but would like to take advantage of this service the cost is as low as 5.99 per month for 25 email addresses.  We will continue looking for ways to improve our line of services.  We are getting ready to roll out a new web mail system that will include collaboration.  But that would be another blog.  Until then…
