Email virus protection.
It seems that every week a new deadly virus is found that can do serious damage to your computer.
In a bid to try
and help protect our customers, our systems have email virus protection that
scans your incoming email before you receive it. However, please note that we
highly recommend you still use virus protection on your computer, such as Norton
AntiVirus or McAfee Virus Checker.
Server virus
protection.
A lot of our customers have been concerned over incidents regarding worms (a
type of virus) gaining access to web hosts servers, infecting all their customers
websites. One particularly big example was the "code red worm" which
caused great concern. These security concerns were in relation to a well know
server type which a lot of hosting companies currently use. However, we only
use high performance UNIX servers for our customers which do not have these
security leeks.
All servers do
have protection in the unlikely event of an attack and we were made target for
mass attackers (hackers etc) then we could reboot the system within minutes
and retrieve your website. To date, we have never had our systems down, but
rest assured that we are well prepared for any service attacks if they should
happen.
