Email and SPAM
On our desktop and mobile devices, email is the most popular function and spam is pretty much the number one concern. Did you know you can be hosted by one company and have your email with another? With spam being the top annoyance for hosting services and their customers, it's important to know your options, and a solid hosting company can help with these decisions.
Causes of SPAM
A huge cause of spam is when your "whois" privacy of your domain name is turned off, allowing spammers to "phish" for your contact information. (Phish or phishing is tech-speak for people who are fishing, which is pronounced the same.) Another cause of spam is physically listed email addresses on your websites rather than protected inside a contact form.
Thirdly, spam is caused by someone within your organization unknowingly responding to phishing/malicious emails (fake emails), which can lead to computers being infected with malware.
SPAM Reputation?
What causes spam for most? Reputation. "A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well." (Jeff Bezos) As in life, hosting servers and mailboxes develop reputations that can be hard to rectify once affected. Taking note of the causes above and aligning your company with reputable service providers can safeguard your name and integrity.
This may be repetition for many of you, but "repetition is the best teacher," and YourHost.com pursues what is best for it's customers.
In a shared email environment, about 90% of email is on a company or domain that does not play by the email rules, called "Best Practices," and you can randomly inherit that reputation by association. There are many emailing services that tout good spam protection, such as: Gmail Domain Email Services, Office365, Sendgrid, and others.
Office365 is a popular choice because many think a Microsoft product should be solid. The primary reason email is healthier on these services is because of the type of user - generally more business-minded and intentional about following the "Best Practices." These users tend to be more conscious of staying away from behavior that can negatively affect the overall email platform reputation.
